It began with a loving little kiss;

Then one day this strong wind came
and blew all my sweet dreams away
And at the age of  what`s forgotten

thinking it was dire what I had to say.

The weight of the world on my shoulders
you knew what pain I was going through,
everyday I tried and strived to please you
whatever duty you command I should do.

You can see, I was the head of our family
where everyone else depended on `its ok`
every night I heard our butterfly was crying
"give them the strength to face another day.

Years have passed with the kids now grown
angels took our signet to a brand new home,
God knows why that I shed these silent tears
every Easter somewhere another will be born.

Dry those tears, I'm depending on you Daddy
show real strength and pull this family through.

 My Boy`s, all that fighting is over

                            now it's all left up to your Mum.
                           I will carry on aimlessly searching,

                          but up in heaven, I will find our Son.

Don`t feel so bad

because its over,

like my falling rain

it keeps on pouring

our sun she`s gone

shadows remaining

too follow it through

without complaining

wind rips off  leaves

my trees are so bare

and looking nakedly

falling on my ground

no leaf makes a sound

trampled underneath

the feet of my fallacy

forget them forever

my truth of simplicity

complexions so fair

even after apologies

held in your thoughts

oh held so preciously

closer my togetherness

has been blown away

by a gust gone astray

it has blown us down

with others crying too

all for usless nothings

begining with something

but randomly plucking

sucking my breath away

gust of wind on a rainy day

I am sodden in your soil

as you embrace I recoiled.

 

Please don`t look so sad

the weather is unpredictable.
