"It's a girl!!"
I smile
Through my tears

He kisses me
And goes to the bar
For some beers

He's a proud father
Of two now
Everyone cheers

He laughs
And demolishes
All of his fears

I'm asleep
When he calls to stay
A while, influenced by peers

Then he drives home
Drunk as hell
Trying to shift gears

Not very coherant
To the left
He slowly vears

He's had an accident
He's been gone
Only two short years

Happy Birthday, Angel
From heaven above
My precious dears

When you are older
You can talk with him
And know he hears

Your daddy loved you
Remember that
For all of you years

But for now
Just smile
Through your tears



In every memory, sweet or sad, we find a small piece of tomorrow.

this is so very sad, Alicia..hope it's not a true experience for you..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This one moved me.
how sad, but so well put.

I am not always lonely even if I am always alone
