Nothing's ever hurt me......

[Guest guest]

Nothing's ever hurt me

No pain I've ever known

Like the tear I saw escaping

My child's eye when I came home.

My child told me " Daddy,

It hurts when you're away.

It's another kind of pain

I don't know much about it.

But I know it's very strong

And it seems to be getting a little worse

Each day that you are gone. "

I drew my child close to me

And as my child cried

My face was streaked with agony

As tears fell from my eyes

I whispered reassurance

And silently I prayed.

I prayed to God that destiny

Would not take me away.

For everything I treasure,

All I save throughout the years,

Nothing's more important

Than to save my child's tears.
