I'M Sorry Son

The Father: 

My Son what ails you so? 
For you to weep a mother’s tear. 
My son I am here so, 
Tell me of this pain that burrows in your heat. 
So I might set it free of its misery. 



The Son: 

I weep a mother’s tear, 
For you are no longer here. 
A pain burrows in my heart, 
For my son will never know his grandfather, 
and the words of wisdom he has to offer. 


The Father: 

Worry not my son, 
For I am here and I watch over you. 
Like a lion watches over his cubs. 
For I am the angel that protects you.
