I Still Remember

The rain that falls from the stormy skies
matches the tears falling from my eyes.
I pack my stuff and try to breathe
as I glance at the clock and try to see
the numbers through my blurry tears
and think of you throughout the years.
And I just have to say...
Please
make it through the night.
We'll drive over five-hundred miles
just to see your smiles
when it all turns out right.
And don't get me wrong, I know that your time has come,
but before your last rest,
I have one last request,
please wait until I see right,
and try to make it through the night.
And I remember...
Sitting on your lap when I was small,
you'd hold me up in the air,
but I never was scared,
'cause I knew you wouldn't let me fall,
You'd sing me songs, and tell me stories.
You'd make me smile 'cause you hated to see me frown,
Good Ol' Charlie Brown!
I remember when you first got sick,
I was too young to understand
what cancer meant for you,
but at the time I knew,
You still were there to hold my hand.
Please,
make it through the night.
I promise we'll be there tomorrow
in joy and in sorrow
when it turns out all right.
Now don't get me wrong, I know that you'll soon be gone,
and though life without you will be hard to get through,
You'll finally be with the Light,
But first make it through the night.
Please make it through the night,
Just try to breathe through tonight.

 

Awe, this is a very sad piece indeed, but it was sad in a good way. The way you captured the essence of how the singer must be feeling is truly remarkable. No spelling or grammar mistakes (at least none that I caught) You are a very good poet/writer and I hope to hear more from you ^_^
