Shed a Tear
I shed a tear...
Each morning I open my eyes and get ready to wake you up.
I clear my eyes and shed a tear.
I make me tea you coffee.
I shed a tear.
I tell you it's time to wake up it's time to start your day.
I shed a tear.
I pull you up place the walker there for you to grab.
I shed a tear.
Throughout the day your eyes are lost.
You no longer want to move.
No longer want to be here the pain is over for you.
I'm still here. I still make my tea no coffee.
I still wake up each day and remember you my mother my pain is still here.
I shed a tear.
