I watched silently, teary eyed
As my wife and kids cried...

Dear God...
Please hear me out one last time...

Many many happy returns of the day Sweetheart,
Hard to believe that it was just 20 years back...

I walk alone
The dark deserted streets,the deadly silence...

'Don't be such a slob! Stop being so fussy!'
You always told me but I never did worry...

Looking in the mirror
Stunned by what i saw...

The shining sun, the morning sky
Between tears of clouds the birds fly...

He doesn't know how to smile
holding things inside...
