You pleaded with me to stay
Just a few more days, daddy
It always comes way too soon
But it's right on time, again
I pulled up to the red light
In the "left turn" lane
The rain had just started to fall
Fitting for the mood, I guess

I've taken this trip a few dozen times
It gets harder and harder to make
The tears that roll down your face
The ones that lack understanding of
Why I can't stay with you
They tear me apart inside

I watch as the drops hit the window
You pulled up on my right, in a car
The one with your new family in it
I lost view of everything but you
You had your little "Tweety Bird" shirt on
The one with that you played in today

I had no expression on my face
I guess that's how I get when
The pain is just a bit too much
You made your mommy roll the window down
So you could tell me you loved me just
One more time, then you blew me a kiss
That I felt in my heart

The light turned green, I made my left
You had to go straight, away from me
I had to turn away from you
I couldn't let you see that my heart
Was breaking

I didn't want you to see me cry

Today was the last day that I got to see my little girl. I have only been away from her for three hours now, but it feels like eternity.

A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground

Kris,
You're killing me
A heartrending thing, this.

Man, that's a harsh bummer.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

(sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I am always here if youneed someone to talk to, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristopher, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

I don't know anything more beautiful than the love of a parent for a child... and this painful piece is filled with that love. In a way, it's heartbreaking... being apart always is. But in another, it's heart warming... for your love for her is something she can depend on... and your arms will be forever open for her.
