Hold On
Mother don't go away Stay here with me I know where you long to lay Soon I'll be free You miss dad I'll see you more You've been very sad We'll travel to distant seashores We'll watch sunrises and sunsets I'll have the time I want no regrets No job and daily grime I'm going to retire I'll be here for you It's you that I admire Your remaining years may be few We buried your one and only son, my brother Your heavy heart carried so much pain On that dark October day, it felt like we buried you too dear mother Your tears have been like a steady rain Hold on for me We'll have good times in all kinds of weather Mother, stay a while longer, my plea When you leave, you'll be with dad and brother like birds of a feather © June 5, 2008 Janet Irene Griffin
