A Letter To My Daughter Christine

To many miles apart are we now,
can I say I'm sorry anyhow,
yesterday we talked about what happened
words were said that should be tossed away,
years ago in a far away day,
when you both came over to stay,
Jimmy is gone now, but your still here,
so we have today, yesterday is gone,
tomorrow will bring new memories,
that we can share my daughter dear,
Chris lets start today brand new,
the past is long gone,
so sorry about things that have
happened to you,
I love you so much, more than you know,
lets make today a brand new start,
I know if we do,it will bring
a glow to our heart.
