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.
