SINCE IVE BEEN GONE
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
SINCE I'VE BEEN GONE
Since I've been Gone
Nothing's changed for me
Years moved us on
From where we used to be
I remember how it was
In the age of remember when
We'd laugh just because
It felt good to laugh again
Since I've been Gone
You've lost your smile
It used to light up as dawn
After darkness stayed a while
Tell me of the time we lost
What have you done with the years?
Oh I know just how much it cost
For you to wipe away the tears
Since I've been Gone
I saw you weep for me
Watched you walk on
I loved you but, you don't see
My Son, I'm never far
In your heart I'll be
See that distant star
Watches you for me
Since I've been gone…
R.I.P. Mom
About this poem
Grief is hard, do smiles ever come back? Slowly in time. It'll be 8 years in a couple of days. Mom, I love you, I'm so proud and blessed to be your son
