Recently I’ve come to a place

Where smiling is the hardest task I face

I’ve lost interest in the things I love

All of which are a gift from above

The storms have continued to come in

The thunder rolls and takes away my grin

Rain pours down just like my tears

Lightning strikes life into my worst of fears

Just when I thought I was stable

I couldn’t even bring food to our table

As if that isn’t enough

Things continue to get rough

My heart is already pounding through my chest

Now I’ve seen four of my friends laid to rest

Death is not very far away

You’ll never know when it’s your day

But I’m still happy to say

My wife and unborn child are still alive today

While I was asleep, I got the scariest of calls

She was in an accident and I dropped my jaws

The cars were demolished, but here’s the catch

Everyone came out without a scratch

Losing my wife would be the worst burden to carry

Even thinking about it is so scary

But for now I’ll keep my head up high

As the problems of life will fly by

The next day will be new

And my sun will slowly come into view
