I Am A Father

I am a Father that lost a son to suicide
I found him and many tears have I cried
The nightmares of what I found
Laying his lifeless body on the ground
At night when I would try and sleep
Tears would fall as I did weep
A father's love that was so strong
What did I miss what went wrong
Nightmares would haunt me of what I had seen
Hanging from a tree it was no dream
Time has come and time has past
I still remember that tragic day past
People are cruel and haven't a clue
They don't understand the things that you do
You mention his name and they get upset
Well I'm sorry I will never forget
He still is my son even though he is gone
I am the father I must be strong
18 months have now gone by
There are times that I still cry
My tears of love are for my Son
Nothing will change it can't be undone
Life does goes for me in a different way
Words are useless there's nothing you can say
I am a father who has lost his son
Waiting for the day when we will be one
