Strength

I thought my life was over
The day you were taken away
I thought that nothing could take away
The pain
The hurt
The shame
I thought of nothing more
Than death
And how death
Would be better
Than living each day
Without you in my arms
I could have done
So much more for you
I could have done
So much better by you
That fateful day
Now almost four years ago
Has been stuck in my mind
Replaying like a broken record
But all the while
I find the strength
To carry on
You give me strength
You give me hope
For a better tomorrow
