My Song

Baby girl formed
In a mother’s womb
A heart beat is formed
And a child is born
November 23, 1986

Twins with hair of curls
Born to parents
Who brought them into this world
The gift of life running through
The eyes so blue

Never knowing what’s to come
Keep them safe with you
A father protective
Of his little girl
Afraid to let go

20 years late
A mother so stubborn
She doesn’t see
What all she is missing
Because she left thee

The years are running thin
And these little lives made
Are growing forward
To have their own life made

Can’t turn back
The hands of time
It’s time for a father
To let go of the hand of mine

We’ll both have
Our time of cries
But just know in heart
My leaving is not goodbyes
