The Death of a Family

Many days we spent together
As we were growing up
There were times nothing was better
Than to share the family cup

So much laughter and a few tears
And yet we always knew
The love we felt through the years
Must be tried and true

Well time has taken a nasty toll
What happened to us all?
It seems we all forgot our roll
And one by one we fall

Bitterness and anger took over
And we gave up the fight
And now it seems we're no where closer
To put the pieces back right

Pain and loss surround us all
And hope is surely gone
No matter how loud we call
We are truly all alone

As my heart reflects all this
I am shaken to my core
For all the things that I do miss
What was it all for?

Grief and loss is what I feel
There's nothing to be done
But accept what's truly real
That all we know is gone
