Morningside
ย
the old man died
ย
and no one cried
ย
they simply turned away
and when he died
he left a table made of nails and pride
and with his hands he carved these words inside
ย
"for my children"
ย
Morning light
ย
morning bright
ย
i spent the night
ย
with dreams that make you weep
morning time
wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
for i recall the words the old man signed
ย
"for my children"
ย
And the legs were shaped with his hands
ย
and the top made of oaken wood
ย
and the children sat around this table
touched with their laughter
ah, and that was good
ย
Morningside
ย
an old man died
ย
and no one cried
ย
he surely died alone
and truth is sad
for not a child would claim the gift he had
the words he carved became his epitath
ย
"for my children"
ย
