He Cries...
Mommy... I want Daddy...
Tears streaming down his face.
She holds him. Yet,
He doesn't find the comfort he seeks in her arms..
He yeans for his love..for his touch...for peace.
She rocks him... Just as his Daddy once did.
His tears subside...he's falling asleep...her pace slows....
She hears "Rock more Daddy."
Her paces quickens and her eyes close...
Her prayers begin for the son she now holds...
"Please bring his Daddy home."
She lays in bed, Tears flowing down her face...
He hears her cry again...
That little boy's prayers begin for his Mommy's pain to end.
"Please bring my Daddy home."
