The Window

Today i saw your face in the window 
it was me when i focused on the image 
you have given me the best of all memories 
the color fades from the picture that i hold in my hands 
the corners are withered so are my insides
if given the chance to hear your voice 
the emotions 
ill walk past this window once or twice a day
to see your face as i do when i look out onto the rain
the angels crying 
ive gotten this far since the lord took you home
ill get even farther when i look in the window
im thirty now as when you left i was fifteen 
believe me when i see the reflection
its not hard for this man to say sadly 
i miss my father this boy sometimes misses daddy
