Every morning since Conrad died we light a candle in our living room
and say, "Good morning, Conrad."
And every night before we go to bed we blow out that candle
and say good night to him.
This virtual flame burns for, and represents, Conrad's spirit.
Eternity
I lie in bed at night and pray
That you will think of me
I cry until my eyelids close
And dream - eternally
I wake to sunlight on my face
And for a moment I forget
Then a cloud passes by
And I realize this is it
I carry myself throughout the day
Feigning joy and feeling pain
I long to gaze upon your face
To share a smile - an embrace
The day is growing to an end
And still I think of you
I try to relax yet in my mind
I wonder what to do
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if by chance you think of me
Know that I love you eternally

Conrad's nephew
The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,
but it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
let me hear the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

Gone Away
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
