Letter To Dad by Cathy Wetzel

Lyrics
The weight of your loss
still new on my heart
I walk to the edge of the creek
Open the box, lift out the bag
Bones once strong crumbled by heat
Look at the trees where you once stood
Memories are there but they do me no good

Chorus
If I could bring you back
I'd call to the wind
blow the ashes back into the bag
I'd build you piece by piece
until our fingers could reach
We would be a family again

People say have a ceremony
It helps with letting go
It's a celebration of a life.
I don't want to let go
I want you home where you belong
So my mom won't be lonely tonight
It's foolish to wish for what can't be
But I can dream; it's all you've left here for me

Chorus

As I write these words
playing your guitar
I wonder if you hear me as I cry.
Or do the words just fall
on the hardened ground below
like the tears falling from my eyes

Everything I do I think of you
No new memories, I guess the old ones will have to do

Chorus 2x

thank your cathy, i lost 2 brothers about 5 yrs ago,so your song really touched me

[cfwetzel]

Robert, I am very sad that you had such a loss. Our people are everything to us. I think Embrace the Dark is about that, getting past loss, etc. (although sometimes I don't know why the heck I'm writing a song until it's done and then I have to make sense of it), so I'm not sure. Here's to better days!!
