Another Child
I woke up and ran to our big Christmas tree
And under it found a note just for me
As I opened it I heard someone try not to cry
And after I read it I wanted to die
It read, “Son I love you, but I have to go”
He calls this love? God, what does he know?
Fathers are supposed to be there when you fall
A few steps away, not a visit or call
The tears in my eyes cloud this clear starry night
Thinking why would God come to a world without light
This is sad, but really beautiful to read.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Mollie.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of that Relient K song, except a lot more serious.
this is lovely in a tragic kinda way...
