Papa's L'il Nick
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 5/15/01
Papa said to me at the age of four
You don't know the price I paid
But I couldn't ask for more
As I sat on Papa's lap that summer day

I didn't know he wanted a little boy
To go out in the woods or to play
Yet he said I was his pride and joy
For all the love I had deep inside

Saddened when Mama took me far away
I didn't realize the situation then
I didn't know of the price they had to pay
As I went to a foreign city I didn't know

Papa always called me his L'il Nick
He knew my heartache as he left
Until he met the man I married, my dear Ric
How I wonder what he calls me from above
