When I See You Again

When i see you will i recognize the face I've only seen in pictures? Will you be happy to see me. Is disappointment going to be written on your face because of the life i've lived? Will the hand I've looked to hold my whole life be open to receive mine? Will you be mad for me putting a get well balloon on your tombstone? I was making light of the situation because i couldn't process what really has happened. Will you call me by my name or will i finally be able to answer when i hear a man call out "son"? Will you be with Aunt Fay because I know i could find y'all with her laugh that fills up any room. where you there all the times i talked to that brass plate on top of that granite pouring my heart and liquor out to you? Will there be a sorry in your opening sentence to me? Would you hug me and tell me your glad to see me?Would you tell me you thought of me everyday while we where separated and that i wasnt alone? Will you still be drinking when I see you again?
