Burning Forever
I can hear you crying
Calling daddy ! daddy !
But there is no answer.
I can hear you calling
From a million miles away
Urging for the bond we once shared.
You had a home one time
Family and a father
But she took away all that
Saying I was no good for you.
Now you cry
Like these invisible tears that stream.
Your little naughty ways
Your cheeky laughter
And run arounds.
Permanently etched in my mind and heart
Every time you are remembered
When I play back memories I have.
But daddy watches you
In his dreams
You have a future so bright.
The fighting may not stop now
When the dust finally settles
Daddy will take you back home.
And daddy has a life to live too
To move on
Give brothers and sisters
Mama would not give.
Me and her may loose the love we shared
But mine and yours burn on forever.
God be with us all.
