No Greater Loyalty

This will be our family secret don't tell others how he died Never mention how my darling son took his own life in suicide Don't want them saying he opted out of life they would never understand How our beloved teenager he died at his own hand. Don't tell anyone we found him hanging from the low branch of a tree Tell them 'twas of a heart attack that he died suddenly We do not need their judgements my son must rest in peace It was of his own choosing that from life he choose release. Of the darkness that surrounded him we never were to know The mother she has shed her tears for her son who died six months ago For to save him from the judgements of the living for her dead son she will lie She will never admit that he was one who choose his own way to die. No greater loyalty than the loyalty of a mother when all is said and done From the judgements of the living she lies to protect her dead son She takes flowers twice a week to place on the grave where he does lay And she will grieve for her deceased son till her own dying day.
