Tears rolling down his soft cheek
Tears rolling down my wrinkled cheek
Please Grandma, can't I go home with you
Your daddy didn't say it is my turn for you

Warm arms around my neck
Wet cheek against wet cheek
Neither little boy nor grandma
Understand as we wait for our day

JM, I know I'm not alone but I don't understand any more than he does.  I guess Butterflies have to be tougher than this old brood mare.

nakdthoughts, yes, a pain we can't get to!
