You Can'T Have My Son
From a boy of seven
As i grew through the years
In the back of my mind
That constant fear
Memories of my brother
Been knocked down
Brought nightmares and horrors
In memory drown
Adult life reached
Kids born and growing
But when that Wednesday came
Past memory showing
The call that i dreaded
Had come that day
Your son's been knocked down
On his bike, as he played
In my office at work
I fell to my knees
Thinking back to those angels
Release him please
Hospital i reach
Tears in my eyes
Now I'm the father
History cries
Cubical entered
And the sight i see
Is my son Liam
Crying for me
I got knocked off my bike
I have a hole in my leg
As i thought of the angels
Who heard what i said
Crying like my father
At his sons hospital bed
" Dedicated to the angels who released my son that Wednesday "
