There was a woman from Hempstead
That went to the creek to get water
Though it had run dry for years
She was her fathers daughter
He was a girl dad
Memories of playing there as a youth
Watching lily pads
Amazed that the frogs ain't sink
Papa called her stink'um cause
She used to scrunch her face
When she dropped a deuce

In her pampers
These days seems she was searching for answers
Reminiscing on grandma singing
Jesus Gave Me Water by Sam Cooke
Her son soon diagnosed
With testicular cancer
That was a rough time
But he eventually beat it
Loss some hair in the process
But it grew back
Shed a few pounds
Then got his weight up
Once he could hold the food down
Let go from his job
Starting drinking
More than a few rounds
Through it all never hit her moms
Or took out his frustration on her
Not baby girl
She kept him calm

Used to read her Psalm one nineteen verse eleven
Thy word I have hid in my heart
That I might not sin against thee
Still the devil roams free on the earth
And the flesh weak
Stay strong
Never let them see you hurt
Is what he used to say to her
But him being gone is the pain
That she couldn't refrain from
Got his name tatted on her arm
Her son
The rebirth of his grandpa

Though he never met him
He posses his mannerisms
It's genetics
Love for sports
He was athletic
Basketball over baseball
Same walk chicken legs
Straight forward
Great sense of humor
That boy love to talk
Not just to hear himself
Paid attention conversation with this child
Was like talking to an adult
Has an old soul
But couldn't over stand why his moms
Seemed sad when they road past the creek
Near their home

She said one day I'll explain
Your grandfather was a great man
Firm but fair
Couldn't bring herself to tell him
He was slain by her brother
His uncle he went to visit
In Kingsboro Psychiatric Center
Many years older
She learned to live with it
But never let it take her over
True definition of a solider
She returned to the creek
From the beginning she knew
That was the only place she'd find peace

Surprised it was full
From tears she cried all them years
God listens and returned
That glisten in her eyes
Staring at the water she
Could see her fathers reflection
And herself as a child
Every day is a blessing
Is what she said
Before she stepped in
