Here He Stands

Here he stands
In the light
At the gate
Waiting patiently
Years past
Flowers drop
Tree's die
His life is no more
Here he stands 
Waiting on me
When i do not show
He cries
He misses me
Here he stands
In the light
At the gate
Waiting patiently
A year past
I cry myself to sleep
And I die on my bed
There he stands
Smiling at me
I say "Papaw".
I missed you dearly
He said "Your my baby girl".
I say "Here he stands".
