The absence.

I'll write you a letter
telling you of the earlier disquiet
of the days without your presence
Hope the postman doesn't open ma letter
Or try to read through by the piercing sunlight.
I'll mention the rigid days
That follows a routine
and that makes me sooo sick.

But I'll also tell u too
that the babes are well,
They're coping.
Sometimes little Ann calls your name
thinking you're in the other room
She hasn't known counting days
To know how long you'll stay before u come back
Mich still does her homework
And every time i bid her goodnight
She knows that you're one day nearer
Even when you're far
They still think you're just around
And that's life
A little sacrifice here and there
and then its over.

W'look forward seeing you every other time
And miss you
every time you say goodbye
Nudging the hope
of meeting next time
And so w're lucky to have known you
Lucky to have crossed the paths of your life
We can only thank God
E'vry time we meet.

Don't be worried.

When ma lifes' over
and no more breath passes
when the heart beats no more
and I'm over at my fathers place
don't let ur hearts be worried
I'll have done my part
I'll 've shared Gods delight with you
I'll have told you not once
What i had been sent to do
down here in these scary place.

When no thing interests me
And my soul rests in eternal realm
Do not be scared by the silent nights
I'll have shared Gods' love with you
I'll have travelled with you
twice as much
Later when u too join me
We'll make a chorus in heaven
and the angels will join us.

And so when I'm here
in this long sojourn
i can't but wait for directions
From he who sent me
from he who knows my name
from he who knew me
Long before mama knew me
because u know,i existed
At the start of the times
And will be there
when the last of the times is sounded
In readiness for a new beginning
So don't be worried-rejoice.
