In an Instant

In an instant you were gone
Vanquished for what I don't know
Was it only yesterday
When I held you tight to me
I did not know you would leave

I see things you left behind
It feels wrong to see them now
Life unlived still not begun
Please tell me how I go on
When you left, my only son

Rage against the Lord our God
You take from us the blessed ones
How are we to understand
Quell all Faith in my sorrow
What lay beyond tomorrow?

If I could tell him once more
How very proud he made me
And while I am uncertain
I pray to you to keep him
Should someday we meet again
