Tom was born in 1942 with eyes of blue and the doctors said that his birth was far too fast. His heart stopped twice but yet he survived, as he took his first breath his mother took her last. And his father knew that he wasnt to blame, but he never quite looked at Tom the same after that. And he rarely spoke about her but when he did, He said your mother used to say this; when the skies are looking bad my dear and your hearts lost all its hope, after dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will go. Skies will clear my darling. Ill wake up with the one I love the most, and in the morning Ill make you up some tea and toast. When we met through a friend who introduced them the first thing Tom said was, Would you like to dance? They moved with each other and when the music got slower he said, Dont let go of my hand. He said, Its only polite if I ask you tonight would it be alright, if I could walk you home? That night he told her of his birth and said when it hurt, he thought about what his mother said about tea and toast. Well two quick years they went by they were side by side, and without a plan, they conceived a little child. He said, Women I love you and this you know but I only have enough for our food and clothes, but Ill love you and this baby until the day that I die. She said Well take care of this little life and well fall in love with her baby blue eyes, and well be alright from some advice that I know, she said I never got to meet her but if I did, Im sure your mother would have said this; When the skies are looking bad my dear and your hearts lost all its hope, after dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will go. Skies will clear my darling. Well show this baby all the love we know, and in the morning, Ill make you some tea and toast. Well he took those words and he made them proud, he worked day after day and hour after hour. So they could buy a little house just on the outside of town. The little girl grew up and so did they, they said that they loved each other everyday. And forty years later, that brings us to now. And as theyre walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand, he puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground, he hears her breathing and thats the only sound. Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd, tears roll off his face as he says, Dont let go, now. And hes sitting by her bed in the hospital ward and their daughter walks in with a family of her own. She says, Dad, I dont know if she can hear you now, but theres one thing Mum would want you to know...When the skies are looking bad my dear and your hearts lost all its hope, after dawn there will be sunshine and all the dust will go. Skies will clear my darling. Now its time for you to let go, Im gonna wake you up in the morning...with some tea and toast.
