The Only One

The Only One

She was the only one
Of my flesh and blood
Now I have no calling
I can do no worldly good

I sit silent
I sit mourning
I sit listless all the day
I’ve mostly lost the voice to speak
And any words to say except
Does heaven have enough angels yet

I’ve gone hard
And I’ve gone cold
I can’t make the pieces of this cracked life fit
Please forgive me for wanting to know
Does heaven have enough angels yet

Together oh together
No there'll be no more of that
But I would not dare for myself to ask
does heaven have enough angels yet?

She was the only one
Of my own flesh and blood
Sometimes I hear her calling
Straight from the house of god

Another night with little to say.

It's about to get stormy again... and I'll have to shut the computer down. We had some rain today... a nice storm passed... cooled things down a bit. We're having a bit of a heat wave with the temps hovering around 90 and it's humid as can be. Not a pleasant thing.

Today was the fifth anniversary of Sara's death and it was a somber day. Both of us feel like raw nreves the whole month of June and this day and her birthday are the worst ones...

That's all for now.
