I remember holding you
knowing a bright future
ahead of those pretty blue eyes
thinking I would be there
for every tear
every smile
or just to be there
spending endless hours
for no particular reason at all

You were a little angel
sent to save me from myself
a gift from heaven for
me to care for
till time for your return

Now we are apart
a thing that I never imagined
or conceived of
a violent separation
of you and I
now lost
You are now but a distant voice
on a telephone
scattered hollow text across a screen
which seems shorter and fainter
every year

I dreamed when you were born
you were a beautiful angel
yet to get her wings
now they are almost full grown
and I was no where to be found

as you learn to soar
above the clouds
above our earth bound eyes
I feel but an observer
in the scheme of immaculate
creation

I blinked a decade gone
before I opened my eyes
I fear to let sleep or idleness
take me lest I lose another
and you have returned to heaven
to sing among the angels
leaving me here to
wonder how I let you and time
slip so fast through my fingers.

I relate. Big time. We have to find the right way to forgive ourselves before the heartache is gone. I never used to believe that, Brad, but I do now, because after many decades I found that way of forgiveness last October. The hurt is still there, but I have reconciled with myself that what happened then was in the past and no amount of hand-wringing would ever alter that.

Not hard to tell where your heart is.
