Bearer of Bad News
Dolls and teddy bear picnics,With my girl upon my knee.
Not a manly thing to do,
But this does not bother me.
The room glows with her smile,
So joyous, cheerful and gay.
Yet I'm supposed to tell her,
That mum wont be home today.
Thinking about the damage,
The sorrow left in its wake.
Putting off this fateful news,
In case there's been a mistake.
"Mummy now lives in heaven",
The smile now falls from her face.
"With us everywhere we go",
"But now in a better place."
