about

We had a wonderful send off for My Father at Saint Francis Church in Brant Beach New Jersey on Long Beach Island,
and as the Service ended, I was walking down the Aisle and and I turned and Looked back towards the Alter,
On the Alter was my Father, and right behind me was My Mom walking down the Aisle with all of Her
Grandchildren hanging on her, draped over her, trying to comfort Her,
I could not get this Image out of My Mind,

So a while later, I imagined a conversation between a Widow'd Grandmother,
and Her Grandchild at the Ol Boys Funeral, where the child ask innocent questions,
and the Grandmother answers with comforting Lies;
"hey now mama you got teardrops in your eyes,
don't be silly child you know it's raining outside"

lyrics

His Time Is Coming
Hey now Mama what's that noise outside
don't worry child just somebody fixing to leave

Hey now Mama did he say just where he's bound
Be still child he's just going to see some old friends

Hey now mama can you tell the old boy to stick around a little longer
Hush Now child you know we don't make decisions like that
His Time is Coming

Hey now mama you got teardrops in your eyes
Don't be silly child you know it's raining outside
Hey now Mama did the old boy say if we'll be seeing him again
All he said was twas Heaven here with you
His Time is Coming

Now Mama folks around here said he had a hell of a life
Five Kids Grandchildren and a wonderful Wife
Now here we go moving on without him here
Looking back at memories memories and a River of Tears,

Hey now mama there's a stranger waiting outside that door
In a Long Black Limousine ready to go somewhere
Be still child we seen that old stranger around here before
He only takes who he's told to take
His is Time Coming
