Today as I was scouring my old journal, I found something I wrote few years ago. When the pandemic hit, it felt like everything was falling apart. Friends and loved ones were getting sick, going back home, and some were last seen in hospitals. We couldn’t be there for each other like we wanted to, and it was really hard. In the midst of all this, I found myself feeling super alone. The only way I could cope with all that grief was to write a song about it. Although we have moved on, some things from these lines lingers…
Title: You may leave
Waking up to the dawning light,
I felt the burden of life’s might.
Things changing, time flying,
I feel our hearts crying.

Feeling the pain, seeing your tears,
I knew our hearts shared so many fears.
Despairing, our hearts longing,
But we knew we must keep going.
Oh how difficult, this path we walk,
So hard to turn away, so hard to talk.
Your future uncertain, I know it’s tough,
But we must find the strength to say goodbye, it’s rough.

It’s not easy, it’s never been easy at all,
You’re on a path, the future unclear,
You can’t tell what’s ahead, or what you’ll be able to steer.
It’s time to say goodbye, it’s not easy at all,
It’s not easy to end it, to let go of this all.
But it’s something we must do, to start moving on,
It’s not easy, it’s quite messy
but it’s what we must do, before the day is gone.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelations 21:4
