I see the sunshine through my curtain.
I see another day has come.
The terror of the night is over.
And a day begin
I look outside to see
The ones I love
running and laughing like a mad man
The world has not yet corrupted their dreams.
I walk out of my room and to the kitchen.
To see a mother with an apron on
and see a father reading the newspaper
as the twins come in
mud and all
they give me a hug
I put on a fake smile.
as they walk on by
it hits me then
that this is goodbye
a single tear sheds down my face
as I look at the happy family in front of me
I sigh and say goodbye.
