For Stayyseee The Hold I watched you breathe one last time And in consolation I am told many people don't have that Every day there is this question Have I done what is right by you? Lord knows I was no perfect child to deal with I forged my own path in this world for good or ill And in this I moved from you Never did I think our fences would ever mend A call from you in the fading time of life proved me wrong The blood inside you more lethal than the blood between us And yet you still cared for me Even in those last moments I could see your caring As an infant you held me closely But in the end it was I that held you And the pain faded This world will torture you no more dear heart. -Dan |
