DOA

Another moment of silence
It seem like yesterday
We were sharing jokes
Playing foosball and drinking
So young and alive
I take my life for granted
Yet you had no choice

Another mother's lost a child
Did you really need him now
Lord we weren't ready
That's two for me
Just this year alone
I don't even wanna
Go back to the priors

I remember at Margaret wedding
You lost your love
I had lost mines too
You said your heart hurt
I felt the same
I was lost in liquor
Drowning slowly
In a dark place

You told me smile on them
Theirs enough fish in the sea
Looking into your eyes
I saw the pain
Realized we were one in the same
For some reason
it made sense to me
I went home and
Took the bullets out
My buddy
You saved my life Frank
Why couldn't I save yours

Black suits and ties
Tears and cries
From troubled women
Fill the room
I'm the only one
With a smile
Your in a better place
The Lords got better
Plans for you
I'll miss you Frank

Another fathers lost a son
Margaret probably crying now
If she wasn't yet
If you were here
I know you would say
Something funny or clever
To wipe the frowns
From all their faces
A lost like this takes patience
Builds up blame and frustration
Shatters a family or brings it closer
Reminds you to love more then hate
Time is precise and finite

RIP Frank Roberts
I'll miss you
