We never know . . .

How do you know when something is at it's end
When let down by one who you thought was a friend?
How do you sit still when tears roll down your face
And try to stop the feeling of running . . .

"Why do you keep that old chipped teacup?"
She asked me as we sat down to sup.
"Why do you keep it upon that shelf

This morning I awoke
The sun wasn't around to see
It was sleet and rain
It's all the same
The weather's down on me.

Torn and tattered
This robe of life is mine
Colorful and bright
Designed by the divine.
Others look and say,
With pity in their eyes,
"How sad that you are
So damaged and unwise."

Sweet babies who now
Live in my heart
Where ever I go
We'll never part
Sweet babies that are

Sweet babies I love
Who are now part of me
Those babies will grow . . .

A brighter day is coming
The storms have blown away
The air is fresh and clean
Dawn ushers in a new day.
The morning sun slowly rises
Daylight signals all to wake
Like magic all life comes . . .

Hon, there . . .
