Dear Children
Please forgive me
Don’t believe those
Who said that I flee
From me
You were hidden
As much as I tried
I was forbidden
As hard as I fought
As hard as I pray
Nothing could stop
Them taking you away
I thought our family
Could stand stormy weather
But the strong winds came
And we didn’t stay together
Dear Children
Please forgive me
For our family’s death
What wasn’t meant to be
There was a time
I loved your mother
My love wasn’t enough
She wanted the arms of another
I begged and pleaded
With you in the other room
She refused with a smile
Then left me in my tomb
Off she went
And took you with her
And before I knew it
The truth began to blur
Dear Children
Please forgive me
For a side of her
I just didn’t see.
I wanted you to stay
Never wanted you to leave
This may surprise you
Considering the lies she weaved
The wicked plan set forth
Before I could awoke
I could not stop
Before becoming broke
Dear Children
Please forgive me
For there is a system
That ignores A father’s plea
I fought with all I had
After that I fought some more
With all my being I pushed
But the system closed the door
All the facts I tried to present
But the judge couldn’t bother
Who cares about the rights?
Of a sad and poor father
So visitation is denied
You not allowed in my life
Not for anything I done
But for the lies of an ex-wife
Dear Children
Please forgive me
Without you
I just cannot be
With Child support so high
I can barely feed myself
While she laughs and spends
How does she live with herself?
Here I am missing you
Crying alone in a dark room
Pistol shaking in my hand
Waiting to hear the final boom
I fought for my rights
Only to find I had none
With the only hope I have
Is at the end of this gun
When a good man
Is portrayed at the baddie
Who just wanted the honor
To be called Daddy
There is nothing I can do
Not hearing your voice for goodbye
There is nothing left for me
Nothing left but for me to die
To my dearest Children
Who was taken from my life
I’m sorry I couldn’t do more
Hoping to see you again in the afterlife
