Sweet Lady

In the drawer Behind all the white t-shirts Packed away in the corner where It is safe, I keep you. You are hidden No one knows you're there, Except me. I take you out to see your Smiling yet depressed face. I realize the trouble you went through Just to make sure I live a better life Than you did. Here you hold your baby one last time Before sending him off to a Life without poverty. He doesn't say goodbye because He is so small and innocent. You give him a little kiss and say Goodbye my sweet child. So I thank you Sweet, sweet, lady. I'll put you back In that safe little place, So that when the time comes For me to meet you, I will find you before You find me.
