Forgive to Forget II

My Darling, forgive me…

For the nights you heard me cry, before you were born;

For the times I cried with you in my arms, 

Having my heart and soul completely torn;

For not giving you a normal family;

For not always having you beside me

Forgive me…

For the times I lose my head, I should just stop and hug you instead;

For not always having the money on hand

To get you a doll, an ice cream or that magic wand;

For the nights and days Mommy has to be away,

But Baby Girl we got bills to pay.

I want you to have everything you deserve.

Walking together our lessons we’ll learn, we’ll never be alone.

I’m with you every step, every turn.

Know that I love you,

And that we’re free of the thorn.

You are my rainbow after the storm.
