Seeing Daddy Cry

Most people say they've never seen their dad cry,
I, for one, have.
I was five when I first witnessed my daddy cry,
He was picking me up from my Mom's apartment
I couldnt tell you the time or date, but it was dark and rainy.
He told me to go sit in the car and I didnt want to leave my mom.
When he came to the car I remembered him being furious,
then as he drove he cried...
He cried all the way home.
Passing through red lights,
Speeding down backroads.
He took the long way home,
and I sat in the passenger side not saying a word.
Days passed and the confusion that filled my mind slipped away,
Everything I knew was torn apart,
I understood that my family was no longer together.
My daddy was heart-broken,
There was nothing I could do but lay there in his arms and love him like a five year old knows how.
My daddy cried for his pain...
My daddy cried for my pain....
But our Father held us tight.
He didnt let us go in the darkest of times.
He saw us through in the lightest of times.
There was nothing my daddy could do but lay in our Father's arms and love Him like a broken-hearted man knows how.
