An anguish only a parent could understand |
God bless my mother and little brother I watch her cry too much I watch him squander his hopes from yonder And I long from her...a touch. God bless my mother and little brother they struggle to survive I watch concerned for what he yearns and long to be alive God bless my mother and little brother They know not what I see I wish I could be there for them And from their despair could free All the anguish that they feel all the ignorance they shy all the hurt and pain their lives disdain their existance but awry I'd love to feel her softness his comfort to rest true I'd love to be there for them and rescue them from rue I beg of you, Almighty to listen to my plea there are two lives down there on earth that are in need of me Why did you take me from them an angel I am not I'm still a broken little boy Your love is all I've got I want to teach him how to ride and fall off his first bike I want to be right next to them For, I know that's what they'd like Mommy would stop crying And Johnny would smile once more So, I ask of you, Magnificient One What do you need me for? I thought this was a paradise A euphoric place of bliss But I still try hard to adjust myself from all on earth I miss I hope to find the answer I know I will one day Right now I watch my mother cry And hear my brother play You've told me to be patient That they will meet with me Their lives are timed down there on earth But, what's eventually? I know my breath has stopped yet I long to know what starts the ending of my human life for, still beats on my heart God bless my mother and little brother and, please, God bless me too for questioning your reasoning to keep me here with you! |
