Crying A Tear
It wasn't to long ago that I died and went away.
You cared for me while I was sick
Loved me unconditionally
I was grateful what I wonderful kid I raised.
You were always there if I needed help
Always they’re to show me extra love before my death
Then the day finally came
And I was taken from this earth during the night.
Now, I stand up here in heaven
And watch you grow up
What have you become?
This is not the child I raised!
Drugs and gangs were not your thing
How long were you doing such things?
Did you do this behind my back when I was alive?
Is this a secret life you enjoyed?
My dear daughter, what did I do wrong?
Where did I mess up during the early years?
I hoped when I was gone
You would be strong and capable of making good choices.
You have really disappointed me my girl
You have shown dishonor and disgrace on our family
name.
How could you do this to yourself?
This is not the daughter that I raised.
I raised you to love and respect
Not dishonor and hate
I raised you to love yourself
Not kill yourself day by day.
I can see all that you do
I am not blind anymore my child
The Lord also sees your mistakes
And marks them in the book of life.
As you go to take another hit
Or join another gang
As you are about to yell at your teacher
Or show disrespect to your father
As I see you swearing at your little sister
And betraying all their trust...
Know that up here your mommy cries a tear.
