Free Cee the Universe Knows If It Wants To Punish Me This Is the Way To Do It

THE UNIVERSE KNOWS IF HE WANTED TO PUNISH ME THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL WAY TO DO IT Chances are I won’t be able to do this well at all Now that my mother is about to answer God’s final call The doctor assures us she hasn’t very long to live And that is grievous because she still has so much more to give She’s was always quick to dispense whatever I might need And advise me on things with wisdom I usually did not heed “Don’t do that Son, because you’re tribulations might double” And true to her admonition I would only gain more trouble My mother, my mom, my rock and my salvation And now her days are too speedily coming to a cessation If only she could not have woken up at the dawning of a brand new day That, for me, would have been a much simpler and easier way Easier when compared to the burden I now bear Complicated by masses amount of remorse and fear I understand how much more time she’s had than many others But she’d have so much more time were I to have my druthers Well, at least I gave her a grandson and his son to adore Oh, but if only I could have given her so much more More honesty, more happiness and so much more joy But instead I’ve give her heartache since I was a very young boy God knows this is a task which I won’t do very well And I beseech God, “how do I do this, pray tell?” I know His answer would only add frustration to my fear Because the Lord also knows that this is a burden I bodily cannot bear © 2012…..Rita Cohan’s loving son, Jeffry ~free cee!~
