Since You Slipped Away

by Begin Again

Song in your heart! Contest Winner 

It was a long time ago
Or maybe yesterday,
My heart knows no time
Since you slipped away.

One day, we welcomed your birth
And the next you were grown,
A brave, adventurous spirit
With a future unknown.

I remember your laughter
And the love we shared,
As a family together
Knowing we all cared.

It was a long time ago
Or maybe yesterday,
My heart knows no time
Since you slipped away.

There will be no graduation,
Or any future for you,
You have no tomorrows
But why, I've no clue.

Tragedy found you
And you could not stay.
We're left with sorrow as
We remember this day.

It was a long time ago
Or maybe yesterday,
My heart knows no time
Since you slipped away.

Hearts filled with memories
Of the young man we love,
And thoughts that you're near
Looking down from above.

The love that we shared
I'll hold close to my heart,
Until God calls me home
Where we'll never part.

It was a long time ago
Or maybe yesterday,
My heart knows no time
Since you slipped away.

Today, I'll kneel at your grave
And again, I will see,
You softly whisper, "Nana,
You know you love me."

On September 1, 2008 my seventeen year old grandson, DJ, died in a water accident. Some times it feels like yesterday and other times, it feels like so long ago, but our love will live forever in my heart until I can share it to him again.
