It was April in 2000 .
just another day the fire sirens ringing
my thoughts were far away
my aunt pulled in the drive and told to get dress
i was needed elsewhere
to calm my brothers distress
we drove as fast we could
the moment we pulled in the parking lot
i seen the tears in everyone's eyes
what is going on ,no one could talk
then out came the doctor who asked if we could speak
and the moment i seen that baby's body so lifeless
i knew the tears would not subside
i walked out the door and dried all the tears
of the broken man that I once admired so deeply
he lay limply in my arms
drowning in his own remorse
at bay i held my own tears from streaming down my face
back to the car where i could hide in my own embrace
it was a long ride back into my drive
not a lot of talk filled the awkward space
as i sat there quite reflecting on his sweet angel face
Back in my house behind me i closed the door
for the tears i held back stayed hidden no more
the minutes seemed like hours as i tried to catch my breath
the word that were unspoken i could finally get them off my chest
It was the day to lay the boy to rest
time to going on with out the heart in my chest
sometime as passed now
and i know hes at peace
but not even god himself can my put my soul at ease .
