It, an old rainy day, they told me, it would help, if I could remember, they were wrong Here the horn play taps a sound that fills teared eyes They took me from his arms I cried for a moment in silence Officer feared for his uncertain life A gentle hand on my shoulder offered comfort to a crying soul Coffin taken to the place they lowered with ropes fresh starched uniforms Father drunk hit him with every ounce Two thought they controlled him wrong Cell encountered screams I was placed back Take your time son let it come it is ok you can cry Placed folded flag in mother's hands as her tears fell at the word said Mother and brothers stood outside He would not release me to them I spent the night protected by love Flash of light blinds me in horror I swing madly at the pain Arms wrapped tight around her leg I was lost and cried hard it hurt so bad Judge owned by grandfather released us Dad walked the line of drunk loved friend Officer drove us to our home ate breakfast Easy son relax let it out you are safe here no one will hurt you Never was I the same again, never a child every bit of me reached for fear and held it Two years old delivering ice and meat Old truck older commitment to a life hard Mom special like the glow of love of him Ticking of the clock marks a bit of the sanity I took everything they gave me Fingers wrapped on the empty bottle mind hard as steel reaction like lightning Roads in the evening filled fresh memories from the halls of sing and dancing love of life spent in the shadows of a long time past Nurse one more injection slip back to the past dream of seeing the past Family is a blessing on the road laid the guild but no one is going to take the trip so young Dad lived every moment on the edge moved fast never spent a day with out excitement Mind sharp body dying pure grain proof Hurt do you know what it is to hurt rip your insides out and watch die Example lost to the wind and I crawled to the door Glass tall only offers excuses good eyes and vision Seven years in Merdale one with me Death slow and painful pride killed Not a breath left blood filled lungs,drown Merdale Hospital where TB was treated. In this case, vien formed a bubble in one of the holes in a damged lung, burst, drowned in own blood.
