The Teardrops Of Tomorrow

Oh, my precious Cody, what will I ever do;

When just like I lost your brother Nico, I’ll be without you too?

Your Mommy says “don’t worry, just enjoy you every day”;

But I can’t stop thinking of the future, and wondering how far it is away!

I’m still crying every morning, for he’s no longer here;

It feels like it happened yesterday, but it’s been three months and one year!

Yet I’ve had you to dearly cling to, and help assuage my pain;

But I’m dreading the inevitable, when it will happen once again!

His parting nearly killed me; yours might finish off the job;

The day that Fate returns again, and of you, he me will rob!

I could not stop him on his visit, although I fought him very hard;

But he took your brother Nico, as he caught me off my guard!

I wish I could be more like your dear Mommy, and not fret of tomorrow’s due;

And enjoy each and every new day, that we still have left with you!

But my mind is so dogmatic, these thoughts won’t go away!

“These teardrops of tomorrow”, are killing me today!
