Carolyne
Pain sit beside me
Trouble remind me
Of every way I am blessed
I got my sister's blood in me
My daddy's poetry
My mother's heart in my chest
Sorrow skipped my generation I see
My parents took it for me
My mother's mother left nothing to bury
My daddy's daddy buried
Every trace of a new father's love
In the face and the frame of his son
In the hard-to-say surname, the gardener's palms
Of the dad who did what his dad could not
Who fell in love and let himself fall
Who didn't run off in the face of two babies
But raised them to love and be loved
Carolyne, Carolyne, look at your middle kid now
Didn't she dance half the weight of the world
Carolyne, Carolyne, I wish that our lives could have crossed
I wish you could see what a mother your middle kid was
Kissed your grandkids and showed them off
Trouble remind me
Of every way I am blessed
I got my sister's blood in me
My daddy's poetry
My mother's heart in my chest
Sorrow skipped my generation I see
My parents took it for me
My mother's mother left nothing to bury
My daddy's daddy buried
Every trace of a new father's love
In the face and the frame of his son
In the hard-to-say surname, the gardener's palms
Of the dad who did what his dad could not
Who fell in love and let himself fall
Who didn't run off in the face of two babies
But raised them to love and be loved
Carolyne, Carolyne, look at your middle kid now
Didn't she dance half the weight of the world
Carolyne, Carolyne, I wish that our lives could have crossed
I wish you could see what a mother your middle kid was
Kissed your grandkids and showed them off
