If They Knew

Watching his son build a castle Watching his wife as she laughs at the ocean What would he do if they found out? If only they knew That he fathered another child How there once was with another woman Not a wife, just a partner If only they knew Would his wife still stand beside him Would his own son let his dad tuck him in Would they move away from this nightmare Move away from what they become Would he ever tell them? Could he face this battle alone Would he want to take back what he did? Did he really regret what he had done?
