Analysis of Only Seven
Only seven is all I was able to have
But they were seven very special and dear
Each one has a special place in my heart
Be they far away or near
We do not always communicate
The love we have between us
But each of us knows it is there
That love for the family unit – a must
Do not mourn for those who sleep
And have gone on before
Have faith and try to live righteously
So you can use that same door
