I Have,I Had

I have lived upon this earth now on fifty years, I have smiled a ton of smiles cried a million tears, I have heard a life of tales be told and told a few as well, I only hope that my Good lord leaves me a few more to tell, There have been a few women in my life the choice was mine to make, a couple here, a couple there took all there was to take, I had a wife, for twelve long years together we had a Son, one fine day, she walked away left her child to have her fun, I have seen the Sun and Moon arise to start and end the day, and prayed to God, oh would you please leave it just this way, As I look back, on waning years the past is done and gone, what is,is is and was is was and is your whole life long, Yet one thing stays, your whole life through will never go away, the way you heart does feel when you hear your children say.... I Love You Mom and Dad !
