It's April 4th

1969
It's April 4th and my father died today
While I was trippin' on LSD far away
I was thinkin' he was getting better
Until I received that horrible letter
"It's April 4th and Daddy died today."

1993
It's April 4th and my mother died today
As I was planting shrubs, she passed away
It was a shock and I started grieving
When the nurse said she quit breathing
"It's April 4th and your mom died today."

2007
It's April 4th and my parents died today
Isn't it strange for them to have died the same day?
Twenty-four years apart,
Mom lived with a broken heart
On April 4th Dad came and took her away

Your dad must have been sent as your mom's angel. Such a beautiful write. Thank you for sharing. Debileah
