PEACE BE STILL!

Grief
|
I came home from school one day
When I was a little boy.
My mother said “Do your homework!”
That brought me little joy.
I wanted to go play with my friends,
But my Mom wouldn’t budge or bend.
I blurted out “I hate you and Dad,
I want you both to die real bad!”
I was sent to bed with no supper.
My parents had a date in town.
The babysitter woke me up,
And on her face she wore a frown.
She said, “Your parents were in an accident.
Neither one of them survived!”
I dropped down to the hard wood floor,
And hung my head and cried!
For many years I have gone to bed
With that heartbreak on my mind,
And the very last words to my mother
On the day her and daddy died.
Last night I dreamed a vision,
That seemed as if real to me.
My father and mother in Heaven
And they were singing a song to me.
They sang “We know you always loved us,
And we know you always will.”
“Stop grieving, you were just a child then,
So pleasant dreams son, now peace be still!”
