17 years of tears

17 years of tears    
   
Seventeen long years ago, the Angel's got their way, i couldn't stop them taking you, no matter how hard I seemed to pray
   
Why did they take you, there was so much still to share, now I have a whole in my heart and a pain so hard to bare    
   
Surely they didn't need you, as much as i did down here, there's still moments when I cry for you, my tears still sting and sear    
   
There were plenty others the Angel's could have had, but they chose the best I guess, though it made me sad    
     
You taught me so many things, you taught me right from wrong, but mum you never taught me, what to do once you were gone  
     
How to cope without you, to deal with this pain inside my heart, to find the strength to carry on, now we are apart
 
For Seventeen years ive struggled, I think about you every day, I still hate those Angel's, who stole my mum away
 
But when you up in heaven, watching me from up above, I hope you see this poem, I hope you feel my love
