Baby, Don't Cry

My momma left me, so I had to shed a tear
'cause when I get outta prison, she won't be here.
My ultimate fear came true in 2016.
My dad died first, then came back to get his queen.
The pain was unbearable, my emotions were shown.
What else do I have to live for? I am on my own.
I cried and cried till my eyes were sore,
till my head would throb, and I couldn't cry anymore.
I had to pray because I didn't know what to do.
I cried out to God but He knew what I was going through.
A voice came to me and told me not to mope.
Everything you do I'm there, even when your heart's broke.
Let the memory live for a minute then let it fade.
Let the spirit talk to you and don't be afraid.
I really felt like giving up. I felt like life was over.
Then that's when I heard that angel on my shoulder.
I started to feel better 'cause of that voice in my ear.
It was my mom and she dried up all my tears.
She told me not to cry 'cause she's no longer in pain.
Keep my head up 'cause sunshine comes after the rain.
Keep her memories alive by being great.
Always trust God and rely on your faith!
Every time a tear seems to form in my eye,
my mom and dad's spirits wipe them away and say,

Baby, Don't Cry!
