Missing Shawn

By: Barbra Faye Smith

Do you ever lay awake at night
And hear the beating of your heart?
Do you ever close your eyes and wonder
Why he had to part?
Do you ever look to Heaven
And say a little prayer,
And hope with everything you have
That for you, he's waiting there?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep
In the darkness of the night,
And feel like ever since he left
That with him went the light?
Is the emptiness that's found in you
The same that's found in me,
Knowing from the 'yesterdays'
We'll never be completely free?
We'll always have the memories
To fill the empty space
And we'll hold on to the sacred hope
That again, we'll see his face.
