Our Child

Greatness i see in her with her beautiful smile
Hugging so tightly our young son kyle
Friends and family all gather around
At when our son makes his very 1st sound
Picking him up and playing with his finger
My wife starts laughing as his eyes start to wonder

6 years later all wet and dirty
Started to cry as he thought i would hurt him
I started to laugh and drank from my cup
Come on son lets get you cleaned up

5 years later he comes home from school
And sits next to me on his own stool
He asks me a question that i coudn't believe
So i had to explain the "birds and the bees"

4 years later getting high with his friend
I layed him down and and slapped his back end

3 years later all dressed in green
He graduated the army's military training
Me and wife we were so worried
As he was sent to Iraq in such a great hurry

2 years later a car pulls in our driveway
And 2 men get out and head towards the front stairway
The knock on the door sounded so distant
I already knew what that meant in an instant
He hands us a letter and medal of honor
And said sorry for your loss of Sgt O'conner
Me and my wife started to tear
As we were supposed to see him at the end of the year

1 year later near his grave
I kneeled down and started to pray
I come back home and find her asleep
So i lay next to her and fall asleep so deep
I try to wake her up as she was sleeping all day
Only to find out that she had passed away
I call 911 and rush to the hospital
The doctor said its too late to revive her

1 day later its half past eleven
And I pick up my antique .357
I say my goodbye's and pull the trigger
Because i knew my life wasn't getting better

1 hour later I see my wife and son
And they asked dad what have you done?
They start to gently float away
As the heavenly gates started to sway
I turn around and see the man
That would control my soul and forever be damned
