At the Foot of Her Bed

Standing there at the foot of your bed I cried listened and shook my head With no idea of what next to do Except make sure that you feel the Love we have for you All you wanted was to get away Pass at home is what you'd always say To the staff you are completely mean The person you are I've never seen I left with a more then a broken heart To find forgiveness where do I start Like a knife carving in my chest Maybe I am not strong enough for this test You are the mother that I never had Always sticking with me good or bad Now I watch as you slowly dwindle away Not being able understand 1/2 of what you say I spend each day fighting guilt and shame Can't push away that I am to blame Please forgive me if you will There's no doubt I LOVE YOU still If there was more that I could do You have to know I give my life for you! And when this run come to an end Still Love to you every day I will send! An Uncle Charlie Original © 2011 unclecharlie
