For Bobby

Jesus saw you getting weary Knew the struggle deep within He longed to quiet, still the storm And let your peace begin He knew the pain and heartache Your life you did endure The emptiness, the loneliness Of which there was no cure We were young when heartbreak found us Ripped apart our family For you, the pain was so profound The why’s? You could not see When others talked against you Tried to make me feel ashamed My heart turned hard in your defense No one besmirch your name You struggled so throughout your life That Jesus saw and cried “My son! Reach up your soul to me Your heart be not denied.” He called you home one silent night As swiftly as a sigh He gave us time to be with you Just enough to say goodbye I miss you though, you know I do The ache is always there It’s just because I love you so And I am in despair And so I’ve cried and held my head I do not want you gone I want you, Bobby, back with me So we can sing a song Now in the breath of the singing trees Your laughter do I hear You’re telling me of the peace you’ve found And not to shed a tear I’ve found a bit of peace myself In writing this for you A gift of Love has been exchanged The Lord Knew what to do.

Sister, Angie
