In my mind
I know you're gone
But my heart
Just won't let go
You're time in my life
Was not abundant
Sickness
Brought us together
And stole you away

If you were still here today
I would still be me
But when you left
I grew cold
Secluded in sin
And grief
But belief
In a future of heaven
Brings hope now that you're stolen away

Now that you're gone
Stolen away
You put up a fight
And triumph did not stay
Until your last breath
When it stole you away
For now and not forever
I will see you again one day

Ever since your left
My heart has not been the same
Compassion eludes
And faith has too
The aftermath is tragic
And my heart is tired
Now stone cold
Instead of burning with fire
Life is slow

The future- unknown
I regret the time missed
But am thankful for what we got
Your face
In your last days
Is something I can never un-see
Contorted with lumps
And worn from pain
It stole you away

Now that you're gone
Stolen away
You put up a fight
And triumph did not stay
Until your last breath
When it stole you away
For now and not forever
I will see you again one day

Cancer
The name of what took you away
Takes many every day
And this family
Of the hurt and broken
Come together
To ensure
You did not die in vain
As you were stolen away

Now that you're gone
Stolen away
You put up a fight
And triumph did not stay
Until your last breath
When it stole you away
For now and not forever
I will see you again one day
In paradise
PawPaw
