The end of June came

And took you away

We were all crying

Felt like I was dying

Black dress & black shoes

Tied laces for you

The saddest of days

Why couldn’t we save you?

Inside my head

At the edge of the bed

Where somberness lay

In your children that day

As goodbyes are spent

Holding on to what’s left

The saddest of days

Why couldn’t we save you?

Nothing but ashes

In the old fire place

With all of the memories

He has erased

Heavier heels

His mourning concealed

On the saddest of days

Why couldn’t we save you?
