The Grave
The woman slowly through the graveyard walks,
She stops a while and at a grave she talks,
Oh Jimmy! oh Jimmy! oh why did you go,
You were my joy oh didn't you know,
On her face she wears a frown,
The sky so soft on her looks down,
The drizzle rain it blinds her eye,
her wobbling lip lets out a sigh.
The woman kneels down and places a flower,
She seeks her God in her neediest hour,
She always thought Him meek and mild'
But can't comprehend why He took her Child.
She fights and fights the rage within,
The thoughts she thinks she knows are sin,
She had always tried to follow the Lord,
For all her sacrifice twas poor reward.
He took her son though only five,
and yet lets the evil remain alive,
At these thoughts she begin to cry,
She kisses the stone and says goodbye.
