A woman watched silently
As her son slipped away
She remembered him before
It seemed like yesterday

And the tears fell

A young girl watched hopelessly
As her boyfriend turned to go
She remembered how she always thought
She'd never meet her foe

And the tears fell

A little boy alseep in bed
Had a dream and fell
He called in his big brother
So his fears he could tell

And the tears fell

A poets pen slipped and shook
She couldn't shake it off
Her loss was just to great
She gave a sobbing cough
