Unselfish

You were so strong
Though life wore on
With burdens great
And sorrows deep
You mustered on
Our fates to keep

You faced it all
Though life was cruel
You carried on
Through shattered dreams
To better days
Or so it seemed

You held us up
When we would fall
But who held you
Through it all
When was your time
Who stopped your fall

And so it went
Your life a maze
of joy and pain
You took it all
And held our hearts
And gave us strength

And now time slows
You without dreams
No wasted life
Though it may seem
Because of you
We have our dreams
