Jennifer

Jennifer

She was five years old, when her mother died,

Her father was an alcholic too,

She held her daddys hand as he walked down that aisle,

Only to give her away to her grandmother,

When she turned twenty one, she went out to a bar,

And then she was twenty seven and her life had flashed,

She had a beautiful five year old child, named Jennifer,

She was a single mom, and had dealt her cards,

Oh Jennifer,

Your mother was beautiful they would tell this sweet little girl,

Jennifer you were nine years old when your mother died, and I was thirteen,

and my papa cried,

Your mother had took care of him in the keep home

Oh Jennifer,

Oh Jennifer,

I would say as I watched you sob, 

every day to the frame on our wall of your Mom,

I tried to help as much I could but a girls love for her mother is just never understood,

Jennifer, you were thirty-five as I laid in bed next to you and I was thirty-nine

as I held your hand, and you lost your last breath,

You fought your battles, and now you can take your heart

and be with your mother,

Oh Jennifer,

Oh Jennifer,

I never knew how much it hurt, as I watched you sob

Until, that day I walked into our daughter's apartment

I found a picture of you in a teal rose frame hung on the wall,

The most important part of it all was Annabelle was lying on the floor,

She lost her mother, thirteen years ago, and she is now twenty-six.

and the tears in her eyes and the melancholy of her pale white skin,

told the story of your life, without words, 

Oh Jennifer,

Oh Jennifer,

I see you everywhere,

I have waited so long to tell you, Jenni,

Being fifty-two I feel I am ready, 

Jennifer, go away,

I love you far to much to have you here next to me,

I have felt your presence in everything I do,

You can let go Jenni,

Be with your mother,

Oh Jennifer,

Oh Jennifer.
