Certainty

Sometimes I wonder if shes looking back
thru the thin veil of all our actions,
to think about that life.
I knew one day pain would come,
my dear sweet mother.
I lost my life today
with the face of all my past.
They sent an angel on its way.
We knew her time was near and she’d be going home.
I knew one day pain would come,
my dear sweet mother.
I lost my life today with the face of all my past
and the faith for us to bear.
I received a gift, the strange unknown.
Hiding the fear was a name that’s a danger to all.
For the time it takes,
still I feel the nights she cried.
We’re so sick and tired we knew,
her lover will take her back someday.
Of this we were certain,
death would come as nothing new,
silence for us to bear,
never knew was so precious
