again today

again today
another passed away
not who we expected
but one that seemed strong
well as strong as a weakened soul can be
so how do i face this day
when another has passed away
is life so random
so full of pain
that to be done with it
is a relief
is there a reason for this
this life that
i face each day
do i shed tears
do i just look away
or struggle past
with my head down
to hide my tears
or do i face the pain
face the fear
for fear is a part of it
fear of not knowing
for no matter how strong the faith
there is fear of not knowing for sure
what lies ahead
so i must have faith
do i trust the pain that i see
or do i trust
the hope i feel
i always trust my heart
for it doesn't lie
what i see as real
the pain i see
makes me sad
my heart can make me happy
i choose my heart
i choose faith
so i can face the day
when another has passed away
