Broken promises hurt and There's always something else I'm working on But now you're gone, and I'm without a vowel Or noun, no song could resound, loud enough To shower you with love, I'm astounded By the fountains overflowing from the Fruits of your cup, your soul was pure From above, Gracious, never too caught up To share truth through honest thought Whether faith in God, or the trivial and small You did your due diligence for it all Like that time you mixed up my birthday That day in the subway, the saddest look On your face, over a simple mistake But your wisdom was relayed Consideration is in the details The very name of the game You were a rock, here I am in a hard place My heart it aches, partly the pain Of missing you, but it's charred by the taste Of my guilt and my shame You never pushed me away But I never did rush out your way In a periphery you did stay You weren't a priority And I'm afraid it's too late To visit, but I'll relay One of my proudest memories to this day Is the look on your face Playing that card game With that sack of presents on Christmas ey I connected with family that day If they say you stay alive as long as Someone says your name Joan Wheaton you're amazing Place that on replay I find comfort in the peace on your face I try to wonder if for a piece of a day I'd have the strength to walk in your shoes And rock virtue the way that you do I find comfort that you can sleep in grace I don't need to wonder if you reached that place You's a real one, they let you breach them gates Streets paved in gold, your spirit is safe ey And one day we'll meet again On this prowl for so long All these scowls are probably Bounding my progress The resounding thirst for success What in the Right I shouldn't cuss On this, respect is a test And as I learn bout respect Take some time to reflect My time I invest But tunnel vision blinds me From what's really relevant Like seeing you Woulda been time well spent But my time management Leaves no time for family and friends And since we all leave in the end Seeing these faded memories Laced with selfish intent Has me pensive It's been 4 years since your Counterpart left, I knew better Nanny I'm sorry, if only Words after the fact could Make a difference Instead of empty promises I'll get over my resistance Make it work with my father, check it At the funeral, you'da been so proud My arm around his shoulder Because it's actions that speak loud Though my words often scream foul Though the terms, are conditioned to sway Me to burn through each day Preaching return on effort How to be great The reality is humanity needs managing And it's damaging to meander through theater Ignoring the storm called family The blurred line between life and fantasy Between where I am and where I'd like to be I guess the thing most striking in all this You'll forever inspire me I receive your blessing, I love you, rest in peace I find comfort in the peace on your face I try to wonder if for a piece of a day I'd have the strength to walk in your shoes And rock virtue the way that you do I find comfort that you can sleep in grace I don't need to wonder if you reached that place You's a real one, they let you breach them gates Streets paved in gold, your spirit is safe ey And one day we'll meet again
