Poem
A lonely tear stains my face as our baby girls cling to me I woke up knowin' that its time for you to go Fully understanding that this is how it has to be "Lil Reba" falls asleep wearing one sock and clutching your shirt In due time I'm sure she'll learn Right now she's far too young to understand Daddy's a hard working man just doing the best he can A lonely tear stains my face as our baby girls cling to me I woke up knowin' that its time for you to go Fully understanding that this is how it has to be I assure the girls that daddy's just a phone call away If he could Daddy would surely stay I remind them that he never truly leaves us alone He too is counting the moments 'til he makes it home I crank up the music, light a smoke, and consider mixing a drink I take a deep breath and remind myself that I dont have time to just sit idle and think Can't shed a tear Can't show no fear A mama's job is to hold down the fort and remain strong I must keep going even when the road ahead seems too long A lonely tear stains my face as our baby girls cling to me I woke up knowin' that its time for you to go Fully understanding that this is how it has to be I sometimes send a sweet text I sometimes write a song I often pray to God that nothing goes wrong I try to keep my focus on home and how to better my ways Yet inside I'm secretly counting down the days A lonely tear stains my face as our baby girls cling to me I woke up knowin' that its time for you to go Fully understanding that this is how it has to be I keep my phone safely on my hip waiting for it to ring Gettin' your call is always the sweetest thing My mind falls to ease as I hear your gentle voice I'm reminded that you aren't away by choice A lonely tear stains my face as our baby girls cling to me I woke up knowin' that its time for you to go Fully understanding that this is how it has to be A warm front touches my heart tellin' me that we're not alone I hear a gentle click as a key in the door says Daddy's finally home I fall into your arms and not a moment too late Your love washes over me with a gentle kiss and I remember why I wait You make life so beautiful and your love feels so good I remain strong knowing that you would stay if you could
