I wept because there will be no more,
Chumming around with your sis,
Or being teased by your brother,
I wept for I knew we could not face this.

I wept for my heart is breaking,
I am aching and words cannot explain,
The feelings inside my heart,
Nor the depth of my agonizing pain.

I wept for the loss of a child,
Nothing can ever replace,
There is a void in my life
I wept for the need to see your face.

I wept when I looked out the window,
I saw a day clear and blue,
I wept for I don’t know how,
I will live another day without you.
 

I wept for my soul has become empty,
It is so hard to face the new day,
I wept for a family shattered,
As life, left and death took you away.
