Orphan of Heaven
June 3, 2014
Here's to the baby that never came
who's mother lies crying in sorrow and pain
who's daddy is gone, living a new life
leaving mother alone, no longer a wife
here's to the baby, who tried and tried
here's to the mother who cried and cried
but one day mother found a rope
mother was done with trying to cope
she found a nail in the wall upstairs
if mother did this, she thought, who cares?
mother positioned her neck in the rope
and when the chair fell, mother no longer spoke
