A rare father, daughter teaching moment
How do I tell my child
Both inner and actual
Her feline friend was taken?
So how do I tell my child
That her friend was taken
By a selfish fool's impatience?
A delicate age for such a numb
For loss and lesson
Momentary, fleeting and brief
A nature of all connection
Like our mother always said
Life is short, screw the fears, screw the dread
It's so unnecessary
Love him more, love him now
Don't hold back 'cause
By and by, we'll all be dead and buried
(Dead and buried, dead and buried)
(Dead and buried, dead and buried)
A delicate age for such a numb
For loss and lesson
Momentary, fleeting and brief
A nature of all connection
Fear of pain from us has us avoiding bridges
Kindred connections
Such waste in time
Cross those bridges, fear no bridges
Kindred spirits wait
Just beyond, cross those bridges
Fear no bridges
