You asked me
What I prayed to God
On the day I did not cry
The day I arose in the morn
Before sunlight touched the sky

I ate no food
On that day
I read, and thought
And prayed
I sought God's face
And learned and grew
And accepted
What must change

I took you
To the airport
And helped you on your way
I know you didn't realize
The importance
Of that day

You asked me
What I prayed to God
But you see...
He told me not to cry
I kissed you softly on the face
And kindly said
Good-bye
