Mr. Davis

When I came to see you
You were confused and weak
Drifting in and out of sleep
And you struggled to speak
As we clung to the illusion of time
And my thoughts fell back
To the days in the past
To where everything lasts
Like your contagious laugh
When I didn’t know
That all things must pass
Now I’m looking in my momma’s eyes
I don’t know how we will ever get by
And it’s burned in my mind
The kindest of eyes
The selflessness I saw in you
Every time
From the cars
And your patience
From everything Breaking
To the six kids you raised
You’d just move with the changes
And never complain
Or quit trying
Now I’m looking in my momma’s eyes
I don’t know how we will ever get by
Now we’re drifting in place
In our groundless state
There’s n hope to contain
All of this limitless pain
Well you showed us all how to smile
Now I’m looking in my momma’s eyes
I don’t know how we will ever get by
Yeah but you taught me
With your whole life
I’m trying so hard
To remember how to get by
