He sat there with his arms folded
Tears broken on his little shoulders.
His long whimper around the dirt road
Paved a way to a family home.

The Irish music stopped
Like the cold bullet of a shot
Heard from a tuscan road.

The village quieted,
They stood with their eyes closed
Because the rain didn't want to dispose
Of this fathers body.

It didn't want a boy
To grow to be a young, fatherless man,
But, like all things, even his thoughts
Dread the long silent years
Of an empty future.

His father was his blood,
The kind of thing you can't dream
Or sit between the windows of the corral,
And just, breathe.

sad tale you tell...
and while I am not sure of the setting, it is a tale that has too often be real for young men and women.
