only in my mind

as i sit awake in my bed at night,
i see your face and wish to hold you tight
you had fought your battle for o so long
they said it would be quick, God, were they wrong
your family misses you here back at home
but up in the heavens you shall now roam
this time you have an ocean of your own
for you, that is all you have ever known
that is one trait i picked up from you
when i grow, it will move to someone new
our memory of you shall never die
because now you watch over us from up high.
