With Pride
With Pride
By Joeysguy
It’s so dark in here, it must be night
I see an opening, I can see some light
Why are these people pulling on me
I guess out there I should be
I’m upside down, you hit me and I cried
That hurt and left me teary-eyed
Who’s this lady you put me alongside
Who’s this man staring with so much pride
Are they someone that I should know
When they leave will I also go
This lady says her name is mom
She puts out her hands and wants me to come
The man is called dad
They are so nice and never seem sad
Will this good feeling always last
Time has gone by and it seemed so fast
In the blink of an eye
I’ve learned what it is to cry
With little suffering and not much sound
Mom and dad are now in the ground
They said we are of one heart
Even in death we can never be apart
Now I look at this lady with our baby at her side
How beautiful, and I’m so full of pride
