Telling of what I missed, fool. |
Tough Thoughts I sit here, where I am Not where I wanted to be. Thinking of what I missed With only myself to blame. I missed you as my bride The vision of you in white Walking the aisle to me Seeing the love in your eyes I missed planning with you Of the family we would have The number of children And where to buy the first house I missed being with you And your first child being born Wiping your brow and tears Sharing the first sounds of life. I missed the second birth When the boy child came along Knowing how proud you were My pride would have outshone yours. I missed all of life’s firsts The first steps of both children The first they said “Momma “ And the first time for “Da-Da” I missed intimate times Those two times when you conceived When those children began How I wish that they were mine. I missed 54 years of Celebrating with LOVED ones Happy days like birthdays And holidays through the years I missed important days Days of being there for you During your sad moments And during your happiest I missed picking you up When you were at your lowest I was not there for you For your greatest achievements I missed being part of Your MOST important days Which means that I have missed MY LIFE”s MOST IMPORTANT!! |
