Losing a Man and Child

I stepped into the shower today But before I could turn the water on My tears had filled the bathtub For the baby that is long gone For many years I've looked at children Trying simply to forget My one true love Wasn't ready yet I have had no one to talk to No one would understand Except for the man who took me To send our child to the Promise Land. Who will hold me when I cry Not calling me names An ocean is waiting inside of me But for now it only rains So, for the man who took me If you see water drops It's only me trying to talk to you Until the pain stops Charles E Pena
