Cost

This was written with my uncle in mind. What decided that my uncle and he needed to become more intimately acquainted. This short piece was the result.

I won't cry for you

you're not the first one who's gone

I know you're in Heaven

Hope the line's not too long

I cry for our family

'cause our bonds have been severed

I cry 'cause our soon

has turned into never

I won't cry for long

No goodbye is forever

I know that up there

you have beautiful feathers

I may cry a bit

for the chances we've lost

but I won't see you soon

'cause I don't like the cost
