I crept towards the stairs

'Cuz I needed a drink

But, you know, who really cares

 

Then I heard a noise

That could only be Mommy

I nearly tripped on some toys

 

But, you know, who really cares

I listened very carefully

Then I inched up the stairs

 

Mommy's sniffle could be heard,

When I went to bed

I had been assured

 

But now...

 

I heard Mommy crying

Maybe it's because

Her daddy is slowly dying

 

So I go back to bed

And dream of

Grandpa angels flying
