My escape to the Hills is on hold
So I have been told
I’ve been called in a different direction
MY DAD IS GONE
I’ve been called to console
His lonely suffering mate
Who has been left all alone
MY MOM
She’s suffering from her loss
She deserves not to suffer
For the remainder of her days
She deserves to be happy
All she wants is a home cooked meal
And tell her lifetime stories...75 years worth
She says they are for me to hear
Denying her I cannot bear!
