LYRIC FOR SALE

By Yvonne

With your first breath you took mine away
I knew my life would never be the same
My world is better now that you’re here
Not keeping you safe is my biggest fear
So many mountains for you to move
So much in this world for you to improve
Tears in my eyes I watch your sweet face
Completely at peace and so full of grace

You take your first steps and say your first words
We read books every night, snuggle and color pictures
I take you to dance and dry every tear
To show you I love you-will always be here
Fishing, playing dolls, and singing songs
Dress up and chasing butterflies, we did it all
I cherish every single memory I had with you
Always so proud of everything you do

With your first breath you took mine away
I knew my life would never be the same
My world is better now that you’re here
Not keeping you safe is my biggest fear
So many mountains for you to move
So much in this world for you to improve
Tears in my eyes I watch your sweet face
Completely at peace and so full of grace

High school comes and high school goes
Lots of yelling and screaming-your anger grows
I just want what is best for you I just want you safe
Happy and healthy so you can find your place
Make better choices-please make better friends
Stop with the pills and drugs before it all ends
Lying awake at night waiting for the phone call
Praying and bargaining and taking the fault

With your last breath you took mine away
I knew my life would never be the same
My world is unbearable since you’re not here
I couldn’t keep you safe; it was my biggest fear
No more mountains to move
No more time to improve
Tears in my eyes I’ll miss your sweet face
You’re finally at peace I pray for His grace
