Bilingual
I never knew my father
He left when I was young
They say he was a proud man
As good as they come
He left like all the others
When no work could be found
He smiled and told my mother
I won't let you down
ย
The autumn turned to winter
And the light left her eyes
No footsteps on the front porch
No word of him arrived
ย
A promise torn to pieces
And tossed to the ground
ย
Though at night she grieved him
She never made a sound
ย
I know he had a reason
I know a man can get lost
ย
Whatever he believed in
I know he suffered the cost
ย
His picture's almost faded
But I filled in the lines
ย
And nothing's unforgiven
So father don't you cry
ย
Now the years have found me
With a child of my own
Another generation
That must carry the load
But somewhere there's a memory
In the back of my mind
ย
I see my father smiling
With a face like mine
ย
