Lost
I lost you
Abruptly
It hurt me
Instantly
I lost me
Inadvertently
I lost you and lost me
Simultaneously
My nana dear
I miss you being here
The same year I lost you
Is the same year I found me
Because I had him on the first
The first of the year
And God made it clear
That I would have a happy new year
My son was born
The same year I lost you
So the words ring true
The same year i lost you
I found myself to
I am a mom
I say this calm
With much charm
I was lost now I’m found
And even though you’re not around
You’re still teaching me lessons
The same year I lost you
I gave birth to a blessing
