My Children My Children

My Children My Children,

They say,

It's 3 sides to a story.
If you were around,

I'd share mine.

Until that day arrives...I have to put my life in rhymes.
So read inbetween the lines.

My Children My Children,

Lord knows how heavy my heart gets.

The unbearable pain,
The tears I hold back...

Nights I can't sleep because I'm so upset.

My Children My Children,

I keep asking myself,

How can I be blessed and cursed...why does it hurt?

Been beaten down,
Kicked,
Laughed at...

But I'm still their Dad, can't change that fact!

My Children My Children,

I wish things were different,

Better.

I wish I could change the past, let your mother do whatever.

Maybe the outcome wouldn't be this.
Maybe I wouldn't get treated like a big secret.

My Children My Children,

Life does go on.

I don't care how many times you move,
I will be right here at home,

Waiting for your phone calls,

Letters in the mail,

Hell...

Even a knock on the front door.

My Children My Children,

I truly,

Love you all,
Daddy
