Anything For You

Baby girl, you are my world So why can't I fix what ails you? I am told that I say and do the wrong thing How else am I to fail you? I hurt when you hurt but I'm told I have no right I try to show you how much I care Even though I'm not always within sight Inside, I feel great despair I gave birth to you but you are not mine Please listen, oh please mind so instead of quarreling why not say what is kind I love you so much, I often wonder What goes through your mind And I hope that someday you can See past whatever keeps you blind Why the thought of losing you is Why I continue this fight or flight For all will reveal itself to you in due time

Children should always be excluded from parental affairs but some use the children as pawns, I wish with age came wisdom because in hurting the absent parent the greatest damage is done to them Thank you friend
