My Lola In Heaven

Break and bend.
Until there's no muscle left.
Nothing left but hollow bones.
And aging withered skin.

The day is young but I am not
Oh...time passes...
But I have not forgot.
Forgotten the spoils of youth.
The days where life was simple and I could do as I please.
When sunrises never looked so lovely & I seen with such clarity.
Now with my tired eyes I gaze at the sky and see the stars above me.

I lived a life of happiness.
I had hoped for nothing more.
Time slipped away but I found what I was looking for.

Now the life I once knew is gone.
Nothing is as it seems.
I dreamed of heaven.
I knew this day would come.
Now as I lay here, dying.

I feel the sun and its beauty glistening on my angelic face.

Lola, Lola, I need to find you now.
I dreamed of you while you were here. While I was not around...
You told me I'd see you again, someday. Where are you?

I've searched and searched amongst these vast and calm seas. Amongst the glorious mountains of this place I've came to be.

Prayed to God to send you near.

The one who kept me safe.
I believed in my heart you'd be here, waiting. Saving me a place.

Am I only dreaming? Is this all a dream? I lay back on a bed of flowers, close my eyes, and I start to sing.
Before I could get to the chorus...I hear another voice.
Could it be? Is it you?!
I've waited so long for this day.
I see you, Lola. My Lola, I am so glad that it is you.

You gave me hope. A faith that was hard to shake and a heart to love the world. If not for you, my Lola, I'd have been a lost little girl.
It's nice to see you, now.
I've waited my whole life to tell you this.
Now that you're before me, I can feel only bliss.

Playing in the garden, just like we used to do. Wearing our
