A Moment of Love
To the shadows of forgotten ghost
Let us all propose a toast
Wasting away their lives in the pen
I once shared in the banquet of sin
I often think of the people I know
Warriors who once shared my soul
Back to back we fought on the yard
Prison made us all cold and hard
I receive letters almost everyday
From damn good men who are wasting away
Asking favors to which I must comply
Taking flowers to mothers who break down and cry
I often taste my own broken heart
Consoling a mother who is falling apart
I have many mothers know it is true
But my own mother I never knew
Just try to inhale the pain of my plight
I have to deliver more flowers tonight
Dear Lord have mercy for heavens sake
I really don’t know how much more I can take
I feel pain few people ever know
As I let the tears soften my soul
Gaining strength from the good Lord up above
So I can offer another mother a moment of love
