These Words

A girl A boy A mother And father Share their pain In a way That we don’t understand In a way that seems absurd The girl sheds a tear on a lost soul The boy carves a spear in buries it in a hole The mother burns her clothes in a matter of despair And the father hides himself in the dark lair We don’t know why they do these things Why they endure so much misery We don’t want to even look on the choices For so much pain should not be made We all are the mother and the father The girl and boy We all have our pain We endure the same misery But listen close and hear my words There is a savior who takes your tears And washes your face in the river of yesteryear Give him your problems make it better This I tell you And this you should do
