#94 Tears In His Eyes
I begged my father not to go
He looked at me and
walked to the door so slow.
Tears filled his eyes as
he bade my mother goodbye
I began to cry.
He opened his arms to me
"I must protect my country you see."
I hugged him once and
kissed him twice
He wrapped his arms
around me, it felt so nice.
Rain started to wail,
she looked so frail
And I knew my
emotions would fail.
But instead of breaking
down and making things worse
My words came out
slow without a curse.
I dried my tears and
she looked at me
"Father will be back
some day, you will see."
Then as we all cried,
my mother took my hand
And she led us to a
place where we must hide.
It has been six years
That the war has
hammered in my ears.
But now it is done
And news has come.
Father is dead, but I am free
As free as I want to be.
So let's stand for a minute
with our hearts put in it.
And remember those father,
mothers and brother
that died so we could be free
“According to most studies, people's number one
fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that
sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral,
you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”. Jerry Seinfeld
“Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is
because we are not the person involved” Mark Twain
“Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the
funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with
mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.” Plutarch quotes
