Haven't Cried in a While - Mama's Childhood Lore

Tears are filling up my eyes,
It's been awhile since I've cried.



The warmth of salty fluid flows,
From the pain within my soul.

Broken dreams of love we hold,
Choosing sin -its goods are sold.

See me crying in the night,
A cold dark chamber blurs my sight.

Stripped of envy and disgrace,
He walked into the wicked place.

Making choices everyday,
Is how the game of life is played.

See the sucker at the bar,
See the midnight falling star.

Twinkle, twinkle lost its light,
Darkness flexed his muscles' might.

Lucifer laughs when we cry,
He taunts the sinner til he wants to die.

God send Angels to my son,
Protect him til fool's hill is done.

Dazzling worldly wanton ways
Entices many foolish slaves.

Freedom to live by your grace.
Answer his call when he prays.

Draw him to Your perfect peace,
Humble crying on his knees.

Mama loves him evermore,
Forever sings the childhood lore.
