Father's Broken Heart

I made your eyes to shine when you Would light up with a smile I knew the way your voice would sound In just a little while I made your heartbeat like my own And shaped your hands and eyes and ears Knowing every step you’d take I’d hear you laugh and see your tears I formed your heart in my own hands And breathed my very breath in you I dreamed the life that you would live And everything that you would do But then they came when death decreed And took the knife that made you bleed I watched as they ripped you apart And at the same time, broke my heart Don’t cry baby, let me hold you I just wish I could have told you That you could live and grow and breathe I wish I could let you believe Your destiny was never taken My dreams for you were never shaken I knew where you’d go, just how you’d grow And I knew everything you’d know Now my heart breaks and heaven cries While death consumes and evil lies Why can’t my bride just recognize The truth and save my babies’ lives?
