Thinking About You

I dream at night thanking you for being here
I wake and realizes you are not
A symbol of my grief is with this tear
Wanting you to not be gone because I miss you a lot

As the days go by and I get older
The memories start to fade
Deep in my heart is where I hold you
It's because of you are the choices I've made

To find happiness again seems lost
But you wouldn't want me to think that way
You'd want me to carry on no matter the cost
I can still hear those words you would say

You are my son, grandson and friend
Go out and make the world yours
I will always be with you until the end
Live your life and let your wings soar

Don't ever let them get you down
And if you should fall know it's not the final blow
Get back up before you drown
You have much more inside so let it show

Thinking about you makes me smile
Knowing what you taught me makes me stronger
Wishing you were here for a little while
The fact that you love me keeps me going longer
