Description
Momma and dad brews before dawn, coffee on the fly, Three kids at the kitchen table, laughter in the rye, Grandma's pecan pie cooled on the windowsill, County fair, ferris wheel, cotton candy and a thrill,
Every August, Vegas lights, neon sweating in July, Poolside jukebox hum, the summer's passing by,
Momma got the summons once, we prayed into the night, She beat it with a stubborn smile, we thought we'd be alright.
Daddy, why'd you leave? You were forty-two and gone,
House went quiet, the nights dragged on, Momma fought so hard, then the cancer won,
Left a hole in our world, and she was gone.
Daddy was strict, but steady hands that taught me right, A hero in his denim coat, a flashlight in the night,
At fourteen I was small, his pocketknife my pride,
When he left so suddenly I felt my comfort slide,
Momma wasn't so hard, she let us spill our seams,
She passed us with a laugh and quiet, stubborn dreams,
Grandma held our holidays, her stories and her songs,
But sickness came like winter, slow and long.
Daddy, why'd you leave? You were forty-two and gone,
House went quiet, the nights dragged on,
Momma fought so hard, then the cancer won,
Left a hole in our world, and she was gone.
Grandma's hair grew thin, the garden lost its bloom,
Then a few years later, Momma's light went out too soon,
She was forty-four the day the world felt cold and grey,
I was twenty-one, pregnant with an eighteen-month-old,
To swear he stood in the door.
