Allysyn Bryant - Be okay.

All week I have been down
Only wishing I could drown
In all that tears I've cried.
Which is more in the last week
Then in my entire life!
I was hurt. I was in pain.
I felt that my whole world
Had come to an end.

My friends were worried
And constantly saying
That everything was gonna be okay
So please stop crying.
Though I tried
I still cried.

Yesterday, marked a week
And now I'm back up on my feet.
When I go outside, I can finally see
Without tears running down my cheek...
The sun still shines high in the sky.
The trees still sway in the wind.
And at a distance I can see
The moon taking a peek
From underneath a day's sleep.

My three nephews,
All under the age of six,
Smile up at me and say
Auntie, come play.
I smile to myself
As I watch them play their games...

I'm going to be okay
The pain has eased away.
I'm going to be okay
The feeling of missing him won't go away.
But still I know,
I'm going to be okay.
