Array ( [sid] => 23471 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => No you can't play outside [time] => 2003-09-19 00:45:00 [hometext] => This poem is about the bond between parent and child, the fear of exposing one to the world, and the loss of the child. It has the hidden message of God and man relationship. [bodytext] =>
When rain falls on a child
a smile appears
in that moment
an adult sees a tear

The calling voice of age
does not let us be
in this a simple act
our fears we see

Quickly I hurry down the hall
I heard my child call
but my Childs been died nearly
twenty years still that voice
I hear

Oh lord in silence of heaven above
could you please let me send love
let me answer the call of my child
I promise not to be long

I will not interrupt her heavenly song
I just want her to know I am here
waiting for that little smile
a bit of rain and a tear

I would let her out in the snow
Lord I just want to hold her close
once more, I promise not to be long

Down the hall you
call my name
your voice
telling me about the rain
a smile and tear

Arms round my neck
kiss upon my cheek
Finally tear laden sleep
