I sit here and think of the day
Oh what a day it has been
I wrapped my arms around her
She tried not to cry
I saw him lying there lifeless
Too long he had been suffering
My Grammy sat next to her husband
She looked at the picture of them on the table next to her
“We were so happy” she says teary-eyed
I sit there and feel guilty for the times that I was mean to him
There is no making it better now, I lost my chance
I sat in the small nursing home room and waited to do anything I could
I thought of the few days that I spent waiting to help him
I looked up and saw his colorless face lying there
There was nothing I could do now
I lost my chance forever
I get home, now talking to my friend
She brings me the tragic news that a man that I never knew died
I feel so sad inside, I know his wife
She had been so good to me and now she was suffering
“He’s my life song” she said
I now sit here so upset knowing those two men have lost their lives
I wasn’t close to either
But I am close to their wives
The women that are left behind
The women whose lives will never be the same without them
Will I one day have to experience the loss of my own love?
“Little Things” play through my sister’s ear buds
Love seems to be everywhere
A song filled with thoughts of love
Inside my mind I know there are two women that I love endlessly whose love is now lost
Here I have been so worried that I will never find my love
When it really doesn’t matter right now
But when I do find my love, I want it to be like the love I have witnessed
These two ladies, they both know that God is in control
They both love the Lord; both know that this is all in His plan
I sit here in sheer sadness thinking of all that I have learned today
Life is precious
Let us not waste it
Let us follow God
With Him we will know that everything will truly be alright
These two men will no longer be here
These two women will live with broken hearts
Because without your love, what more can you do but have a broken heart?
