I can’t stand the thought
Of you not being here.
I knew it was coming,
But it’s hard to face reality.
It’s hard to think of you
Lying helpless in that
Hospital bed.
It’s hard to think that I
Can’t help you in any way.
I’m so far away,
I just keep checking messages,
I can’t stand the thought
Of losing you.
I know you have a place
Ready for you in heaven.
We’re still not ready for you
To leave us down here.
I want to hold your hand,
I want to kiss your cheek,
I want to be there with you,
But I’m so far away.
We knew this time was coming,
We’ve been preparing so long.
But it still hurts to think
Of a world without you in it.
I pray that you’re not in pain.
I pray that God be with you.
And just know that I love you.
