A bouquet of roses lies on the grave this time of the year,
A prayer is said and tears are seen.
Feelings of what has gone and cannot be back are found in the air,
Wounds that cannot be healed are hidden under a facade.
Promises of always being there no matter what are all broken,
Those needless words of comfort are all empty words.
A bouquet of roses lies on the grave this time of year,
A prayer is said and tears can be seen.
Feelings that once haunt the heart are now gone,
As time passes by, feelings of hurt slowly disappear,
Now memories are but a sweet-bitter feeling.
As the bouquet of roses lies on the grave this time of the year,
A prayer is said and tears can be seen.
Yet a smile can be seen on the face,
The heart has learn to smile and feel the warmth again.
Memories that has been made will forever serve as a reminder of good times,
Time did its work and the heart has learnt to move on.
The past is the past and that cannot be changed,
But peace can be finally found from it.
A bouquet of roses lies on the grave this time of the year,
A prayer is said and tears can be seen.
The hurt that was seen before have disappeared,
Memories spent together are forever treasured and cherished.
Forever living, guided and protecting through the memories that was made,
Silence though fills the life of the heart, the demons of the soul do not haunt it anymore.
And as the last petal falls from the bouquet,
A prayer is said,
A prayer for hope to be restored,
A prayer to be safe from the harsh reality,
And to find the strength to face the world alone.
-[Dedicated for my dad. It's been five years to this date since he passed away and people know that I've gone through alot after his death. Time does heal your pains but not everything but it makes you learn to make peace with the past. His presence is greatly missed but I know where ever he is, he is constantly guiding me in my journey called life.
RIP Dad, know that your deeply missed and loved by everyone.]
