Daddy's One Last Tear--
DADDY'S ONE LAST TEAR---
Upon my arrival here on this earth
Out of my mother's womb, I was birth
Doctor spanks me on buttock it hurts
Scoops out my mouth
I scream, I shout, I cried... in fear
One last tear
Daddy was short but proud, loud man, stature of 5 ft 5 has a thunderous voice
Never in my life then have I ever seen him cry
Until the day of his mother's funeral, I spied;
In my father's eye;...
One last tear
As a teen father came into my room, wasn't a very good talker
Alone looked at me said, “Your mother ill has cancer she has 9 months to live”
One last tear
At the funeral of my mother
Once again in a church my father sat in the front pew;
It was such a royal queenly pure white view;
There she laid in a white satin knitted dress, she was, she looked at peace;
Alone he looked at me and said, “Your mother can’t believe she’s dead”
As his head fell his eyes shed one last…. Tear~~~
