Burning Forever

I can hear you crying Calling daddy ! daddy ! But there is no answer. I can hear you calling From a million miles away Urging for the bond we once shared. You had a home one time Family and a father But she took away all that Saying I was no good for you. Now you cry Like these invisible tears that stream. Your little naughty ways Your cheeky laughter And run arounds. Permanently etched in my mind and heart Every time you are remembered When I play back memories I have. But daddy watches you In his dreams You have a future so bright. The fighting may not stop now When the dust finally settles Daddy will take you back home. And daddy has a life to live too To move on Give brothers and sisters Mama would not give. Me and her may loose the love we shared But mine and yours burn on forever. God be with us all.
