we must carry on our loved one name
we must not sit back and take the blame
we can not blame ourselves for the choice they made
Although we wish they would have stayed
life is full of pain & suffering by far
we can only imagine there anguish who they thought they are
they couldn't see the love and a better way
they felt they needed to end their life this way
they needed to take control of their painful life
they needed to feel peace wanted to get rid of all the strife
so now we are here left to grieve
left to feel only what we believe
so many questions that will remain unanswered to us
the only thing we can do with others is discuss
discuss the sadness, the pain and the fears
we cling to each other and dry each others tears
so we are now the survivors a new group of friends
we are the survivors we didn't ask to set these trends
we are the survivors and must learn to carry on
we are the survivors we each need to depend on
our lives have been forever changed
our time with our loved one has been shortchanged
so take this message and know in your heart
that your loved one is an angel and has made a new peaceful start
forever love them and speak of them with tears of joy
save on to your precious memories its those you must enjoy
and with these words that I write
know there is a survivor thinking of you tonight
