Written In Stone
Your gravestone finally arrived
today,
Thats what the voice on the phone had to say.
Come check it over, make sure its right,
and I will set it before
tomorrow night.
I cannot begin to describe the shock that I felt,
When I laid my eyes on the stone, another blow was
dealt.
Seeing your name, written boldly in stone,
My knees got weak, and I heard myself moan.
It is final now, you
really did die.
The name on the stone is not a lie.
Denial has gotten me far in life,
But I cant deny what is written
in stone, my strife.
I had to run, hide in the truck,
cause the tears are falling, and my heart has been struck.
That
name that is written upon that stone,
is my beloved son, yes, he is gone!
How many times can my heart be broken in two,
over
and over, because I have lost you.
All I can think is Its written in stone.
My son is gone, and I sit here alone.
I
really didnt expect to feel this much emotion
upon seeing your stone, and wish for a potion,
to erase the wrenching
torment I feel in my heart,
a pain I have become familiar with, since we have been apart.
GOD I asked, How much longer?
How many more times ,must I feel this knife pierce my heart,
live riddles and rhymes?
I know he is better off up there
with you in Heaven above
but what do I do without the son I love?
I watched as the stone was placed on your grave,And
once again, I decided to be brave.
So I stuffed the heartache and pain deep inside,
with the rest of the feelings that
I have to hide.
I told the caretaker, Its a beautiful stone.
But my face did not show it, and that voice continued
to intone.
You cannot deny it, its written in stone.
