DADDY WEEPS

Daddy weeps

Cuz Momma’s gone

Daddy weeps

And can’t go on

Daddy’s crying

Day and night

Not used to lying

Alone at night

And tender mercies

From heaven flowing

Down upon

The old man’s pate

He’s crying

For the the one he loves

The tears that come

Don’t come too late

And all his children

They’re around him

With their children—

Babies too

No one at all

Dear mother forgotten

No one at all

Ain’t grieving too

And she’s in Heaven

No wetness showing

Anywhere upon her face

Too radiant

And holy glowing

To ever feel

The pain she ate

And Daddy’s crying

But still he’s knowing

That one day too

They’ll come a day

When reunited

Savior showing

Them together

In His new way

And they’ll be laughing

So merry laughing

As they think on it

By and by

Together with Him

Never dying

Never crying

No more again

Yes he’ll think on it

Never dying

Never crying

No more again

…Love you Daddy, Nels, 14 May 2024
