Saturday Father

The children playing in the park
A father has to smile
but through the happy laughter
he's pretending all the while

The Saturday's nearly over
and it's time he said goodbye
He rushes them back to the car
before they see him cry

He thinks when they go back to her
that she will tell them lies
and take away all he has left
the love that's in their eyes

He's just a Saturday father
and he lives for that one day
when his life is filled with happiness
by watching his children play.
