Tear For Dad
by
Bruce Richard Wallace
A soldier came to see my mom
today its about my dad he has
been away.
Please lord let him be alright
dear lord I pray.
Then I saw the tears in my
mothers eyes he said something
to make mom cry.
Then she came to me and held
me real tight I told her it will
be alright.
She told me that my dad had died
I held my tears I did not cry.
I had to be strong for my mom.
I held her hand as we went inside.
I went and ask God why then I cried.
Then I saw the protestors on T.V.
I wish they could feel the pain in me.
My dad died so others can be free.
