Oh,
Howard
Why
did
you
leave
us
so
soon?
Without
a
word,
without
a
warning
I
look
at
the
space
where
you
used
to
stand
It’
s
cold,
it’
s
empty,
like
shifting
sand
You
didn’
t
get
sick,
you
didn’
t
show
a
sign
One
day
you
were
here,
and
then
you
crossed
the
line
They
say
it’
s
life,
but
this
feels
like
a
lie
How
can
a
soul
just
vanish
into
the
sky?
I’
m
pacing
the
halls,
my
heart
in
my
hand
Trying
to
grasp
what
I
can’
t
understand
Oh,
my
young
brother,
you
were
gone
in
a
blink
Left
us
all
standing
on
the
edge
of
the
brink
Howard,
dear
Howard,
the
house
is
so
still
I’
m
trying
to
heal
but
I
lack
all
the
will
Why
did
they
take
you?
Who
caused
this
despair?
Leaving
a
silence
that’
s
hard
now
to
bear
Your
children
are
tired,
they’
re
searching
for
Dad
They
don’
t
know
the
sorrow,
the
grief
that
we’
ve
had
They
look
at
the
gate
when
they
hear
a
soft
sound
Thinking
you’
re
walking
back
onto
this
ground
I
hold
them
close,
but
I
can’
t
hide
the
truth
That
life
stole
away
the
pride
of
our
youth
Whoever
decided
to
take
you
away
Has
darkened
the
sun
for
the
rest
of
my
day
Oh,
my
young
brother,
you
were
gone
in
a
blink
Left
us
all
standing
on
the
edge
of
the
brink
Howard,
dear
Howard,
the
house
is
so
still
I’
m
trying
to
heal
but
I
lack
all
the
will
Why
did
they
take
you?
Who
caused
this
despair?
Leaving
a
silence
that’
s
hard
now
to
bear
But
I
hold
to
a
promise,
a
light
in
the
dark
Though
grief
has
left
on
me
a
permanent
mark
I’
m
trusting
the
Father,
the
King
of
the
soul
To
keep
you
in
safety,
to
make
us
all
whole
When
the
heavens
open
and
the
dead
shall
rise
I’
ll
see
the
reflection
of
you
in
His
eyes
I
miss
you
each
morning,
I
miss
you
each
night
I’
m
reaching
for
shadows
that
slip
from
my
sight
Your
memory
lingers,
a
song
in
the
breeze
Bringing
me
down
to
my
trembling
knees
But
I’
ll
keep
the
fire,
I’
ll
keep
up
the
faith
Though
you
are
a
memory,
though
you
are
a
wraith
We’
ll
meet
in
the
garden
where
sorrows
are
past
And
love
is
a
promise
that’
s
destined
to
last
Oh,
my
young
brother,
you
were
gone
in
a
blink
Left
us
all
standing
on
the
edge
of
the
brink
Howard,
dear
Howard,
the
house
is
so
still
I’
m
trying
to
heal
but
I

the
will
Why
did
they
take
you?
Who
caused
this
despair?
Leaving
a
silence
that’
s
hard
now
to
bear
Rest
now,
Howard
My
young
brother,
my
heart
Until
the
day
we
don't
have
to
part (
Fading

We’
ll
see
you
again
We’
ll
see
you
again (
Silence)
