some time ago, a long long time
i failed the greatest of failures.
money, respect, just empty words
easily lost and forgotten
compared to the loss
of children.
my Daughter
just a pawn somehow
innocently she loses faith
loses faith not in god the almighty
but more importantly in me.
the father that simply
should have been
daddy.

just the true me here...
i dont know how to reply but feel compelled to at least reply... the hurt is real, it sucks on my soul and even though i might be a little older and possibly a bit wiser i am more broken in my heart by the years i missed; time already gone by that i cant replace no matter how much love i share with her now. Too late- the boy grew up and became a man; Too soon- the girl grew up and now is nearly a woman... i have no magic bandaids to repair the wounds of time gone by, only regrets...i wonder sometimes who suffers more- i can only hope that it is me.
ty for commenting.
