Abandoned

I whine and cry Asking myself how do I get by? With no money in my pocket No food in sight I would have to find a way to give the government a fight Wishing for all things to be alright I think their is no such thing as a might Where ever I go to find a job Everyone around me is a snob I go home with tears in my eyes I just found out that my mother dies With more heartache inside Now how will I ever survive? I go to the funeral where my mother lays I tell her please let me survive these couple of days Now I live here alone Starving to death I start to moan and groan Someone knocks at my door I see my dad there crying for help because he is sore I let him in He tells me that he has sinned He told me to lets pray For all the heartache and pain that he caused Then he paused Honey I'll be there someday Even there is one way Please listen to me what I have to say I will take care of my daughter like I was supposed too I'm sorry in that past that I have left you Please forgive me I will not ever leave you see I will confess, I have sinned But I will make it up this I promise Amen.
