mourning

When you lose your hat, you could always get a new one.
When you lose an uncle, you can't get a new one.
When you lose an uncle, you have those painful tears,
and the screaming in your empty ears.

When you lose an uncle, the light that you seek,
is no longer to be seen.
When you lose an uncle, it rises against your biggest fears.
When you lose an uncle, your soul becomes empty,
lucky to find it again.

But when you lose a family member you have to fight the tears,
and get over it.
You have to get over it as much as it will be missed.
