The wind it was howling The rain it was thick I looked at my father My father looked sick He put out his hand And held me so tight He said'Son you go home now I don't need you tonight' I walked down the lane My head to the ground The winter night biting I was hearing no sound I returned to my love In her silken gown I could see she'd been crying The tears running down The child he was born As I sat on that bed You have a son Jon Span 'round in my head Oh Daddy please don't go for I need you now The baby he's crying .... and I've forgotten how Now the child he is growing Into a young man We both try to help him We just do what we can He's bright and he's willing As he touches the sky He smiles like my father Sometimes I could cry Now my father is resting We...can only sigh But I know he can see us With love in his eye It was a gift from the heavens That when he should die Our family was blessed with ......A White Butterfly Jon Mewett Hope stands before you in many disguises But be alert Or she'll slip away. |

Jon........this is a very lovely and touching tribute; would that he could read it (somehow I'm sure he's looking down on you right now with that smile). |
