Take Me Away

I want to run far away to a time and a place I am beginning to forget
where times were easier and pleasures were many and of our futures we didn't fret.
It's all too much this "dream" of mine, and I want to shut down my tired mind.

I envy my single friends, you see. Their lives are a little easier it seems.
To be able to live and laugh and love instead of battling just to stay above.
Marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be; I need some room just to breathe.

Now that they are here, God, don't take them away.
I've already lost my son, and the grief is more than words can say.
But please help them behave so I can pull myself together
and just be done with today's battle of waiting for another.
