Everyday my papa would work
to try to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
To keep those shoes upon feet
Every night my papa would take me
Tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
There were years
of sadness and of tears
Throw it all together
we were strong
The times were rough
But Papa he was tough
and Mama she stood beside him along
Growing up with them was easy
Time just flew on by
The year began to fly
The aged but so did i
I could tell Mama was not well
and papa knew and deep down so did she
When she died,Papa broke down and he cried
and all he could say was''God,Why her?Take me ! ''Everyday he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
He never went up stair
Because she was not there
Then one day my pap said
''Son ,I'm proud of how you've grown''
He said ''Go out and make it on your own
And don't worry I am okay alone
He said'' there are things you must do
''Places you must see
His eyes were sad as he
as he said good bye to me
Every time i kiss my children
Papa's words ring true
He said '' Your children they live through you''
They will grow and leave you too
I remember every word my papa used to say
I kiss my kids and pray
That they will think of me someday...
