Waiting for Joy to Return

Peace does not come easily

But it will come in time

And I will learn to laugh again

And not think it’s a crime


I know in my head it was time

But my heart cries in pain

I can’t accept that you are gone

I want you back again


I see you in that favorite chair

Or watching the TV

I know that you aren’t really there

But you seem real to me


The tear drops seem to bubble up

And I can’t stem the stream

I wake up praying each new dawn

That it was all a dream


But you’re still gone and I still weep

And life still carries on

But someday happiness will stir

And my tears will be gone
