Life is Short

I was damned, for I came to be
I was hurt, for I came to be
I was tainted, for I am me
I was hated, for I am me

I have wept,over thee
I have laughed,over thee
I have been trouble,over thee
I have been blamed,over thee

I cried,when thee was born
I laughed,when thee joked
I worried,when thee was bruised
I smiled,when thee was amused

I watched thee grow to be
I watched my blood grow with you
I watched my hopes come true
I watched thee become a man

I missed thine marriage
I missed thine children
I missed the next generation
I missed thee all together

I faded slowly into my demise
I faded slowly as you cried
I faded with warm tears on my face
I faded slowly in your embrace

I wait for you in heaven
I wait for you to join my fate
I wait for you forever
At the pearly gates.
