I wish
I could have saved his life
Some how it
must be my fault
I wish I could
go back in time
I wish the
quilt would halt.
I should have
spent more quality time
Like "Cats
in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy
blue and
The man in
the moon."
When are you
coming home Daddy?
Don't know
when
But we'll
get together then Dad?
And we'll
have a good time then...
As the Harry
Chapin song says,
Time moves
on so fast
And we miss
so much
As tomorrow
becomes the past.
I should have
done more with them,
Bought them
the things they wanted and needed
I did not
listen so many times
And now my
time is cheated.
I lament over
what we should have done
Instead of
singing the songs of what we did
I feel guilt
for not saying what was in my heart
And the emotions
I sometimes hid.
There is no
crystal ball
That can tell
us who will die
Sometimes
death takes our children
And we shall
always ask the question, Why?
We never spend
the time how we want to
Dishes still
need to be washed, the trash taken out
Our lives
are full of living
We shall always
have our doubts.
Uncertain if
we did the best
Did we spend
enough time together
Guilty for
waht we did or did not say
We should
have talked less about the weather.
The "if onlys"
just pull us down
And foster
those feelings of remorse
We should
acknowledge our shortcomings
As part of
life's course.
Love supersedes
all guilt
And restores
faith back in our soul
That we know
we did the best we could
With any given
goal.
The love for
our children can not be denied
And maybe
we made some mistakes
We are only
human, we get tired, fumble sometimes
And just have
rotten breaks
We are not
perfect
We knew that
from the start
Let go of
the guilt and blame
It belongs
not in your heart.
If we learn
anything from our loss
It's how we
live today
Treat every
moment as precious as gold
And say waht
you need to say.
Celebrate your
victories
Concentrate
on the now
Know your
child has no remorse
For what you
did an how.
They will love
us always
No matter
what we did or did not do
And just knowing
that one fact
Will always
get us through.
