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 |

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. |
