Sticks and Stones

Folder: 
Inside Out

Sticks and stones break your bones

So do daddy’s hands



It’s said that words don’t hurt in life

But do if they are commands



People push and shove in life

Try to get ahead



But sometimes the ones they step on

Need picking up instead



Daddy’s hands do many things

Mommy’s close their eyes



How come the pain doesn’t stop

When your daddy dies



The hurt is deep inside you

Down inside your being



I don’t think it ever goes away

My heart will never sing
