Words You Never Want To Hear

I swallowed my tears, as he walked away I held on to life with a breath, I crumbled like sand,swept away with the wind Still, my body was too heavy to lift. I took a deep breath, and listened with disbelief As the tears bundled up in my throat. I had a small tear, in the corner of my eye, And on my tears began to choke. I felt I could breath, no more from inside And fell to my knees to pray, I couldn't hold back these tears, I must cry, As the doctor told me what he had to say. Your wife styruggled hard, and the baby is here, A new baby boy to call your own. But your wife so fragile, fell so weak Three strong breathes, and she passed on. As she gasp one last breath, and She spoke those words so clear, Kiss daddy for me now, I love you both, I'm sorry your mommy won't be here.
