Drifters Snow
A feeling fell,another too
a feeling fell out of the blue
in snowy drifts the flakes have gathered
on our faces feelings lathered
on his bed your father's dying
from a lack of feeling ,crying
withered fingers reach beseeching
for the touch of feeling,teaching
feelings falling from his eyes
could you,can you, still despise
how he never showed emotion
now he's crying you an ocean
Yet too late ,your heart is broken
all his tears are just a token ....
still ,compassion makes you lie
you dry his tears and say Goodbye.
