We'll Leave A Light On

This must be where we move on
Another night we try to be strong
It's been the hardest days we've ever been through
Now, today makes a year we've been crying for you...

With no real last words to tell you goodbye
We still held onto you tight as you closed your eyes
But, if you should ever find your way back home
Don't you ever believe that we're not home...

Because we'll always keep a light on for you
So bright heaven will see it too
And, if you should ever miss us being away
Then you'll know where our broken hearts stay...

And, we still pass by that emtpy rocking chair
In the hope that someday we'll see you sitting there
We'll be praying beside it for what used to be
So, at times you'll find us there on our knees...

So, if we never pass you on the street again
Then let God hold your hands until we can
And, there will always be the endless tears
Because the hardest part is wanting you here...

We will always keep a light on for you
So bright heaven will see it too
If in a hundred years it's still burning through
Just know you're family will never quit waiting for you...

Sauni :)
Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

After reading part 2, I had to come look for this.  Don't know how I missed it but sooooo happy that I found it.  Works as well as the other half.  Great work my friend
