This one's for my children Even the ones not by blood I said some rotten things before Some things Im not proud of If I could change the past, I would I wouldn't have wasted years in denial I waited for you to sail back in... ...While I never even tried And when my boy did reach out I acted out of spite, What was he told, to make him give up his birthright? Sometimes my mouth overrides my brain, You can ask my wife... ...But that's not just some excuse and it doesn't make it right. There are three more children Grown and living free Two, I'm sure are lost, In warped obscurity. But Cali, if your hearing this Just know I take most of the fault My heart was broken, bruised Hell, there is a hole inside my heart. Without your gentle laughter And warm and caring hugs This house just doesn't feel the same, Please don't pull that rug. Don't burn that bridge, Don't trip that wire, Don't let things fall apart, We all really miss you... ...And love you with all our heart.
