it's 1 in the mornin'
or at least almost
not much rhyme to this poet tonight
i seem to have lost sight
lost my light

see
my dad was 85 today
anyway
i've been takin'
care of he & my mom
who passed away last year
i shed a tear
for the last 3 years
i been here's

now his time is near

beeen a sleep
since 10pm
woke up
and had the thought

"what are you gonna' do
when this is all thru?"

i haven't a clue.

man.
i'm almost 55
i'm still alive
and i have no clue
what i'm gonna' do
guess that time is past due

got 2 x's
6 kids
so far 6 grand kids
and all i've done
when it's said & done
is hid
away
but someday
anyway
anyday
now
somehow
i have to figger out how
to go on with NOW


i find mySelf
in the middle of the night
checkin' on my Dad
how sad...
is he still breathin...
still alive?
that ain't no way to survive.

i ain't lyin'
i be cryin'
'cause i don't know
no way to show...

what about tomorrow?

his time
is comin' to an end
what then?

i have no clue
what i'm gonna' do.
do you?

if so,
please let me know.

because
i don't know.
