My precious son, these words I write
I willed to you the other day Now I wonder if I should be More careful with the words I say But I think not, I do not see Why daddy's words have need to hide I've always taught you honesty And you know I've never lied Chris, I am in pain these days And hard it is to love the night My life's changed in too many ways I'm losing ground, but still I fight We fished today, it made me hurt I knew it would, I did it still I know I push myself so hard It's part of me, I always will Please feel no guilt these things I do To be with you and have some fun That later causes pain you see I dearly love you, my sweet son And even as I speak of this It's late and you are fast asleep I find your forehead in the dark And plant a kiss, then out I creep I haven't told you of my fears So strong, you see me in your eyes But not as strong as you would think I worry of the coming years I fight on, Chris, for fight I must What strength I've left, I've saved for you Because in me you've put such trust To let you down, I will not do |
