If This You Should Read
Through out her life we really weren't there
Not lack of Love or that we just didn't care
So many years now that we've missed
It was out of our hands we would insist
Not even sure how much time has now passed
To late but we've got it together at last
Now we look for the Love that was one there
The kind that only her and daddy could share
There's no excuses or things that we can take back
And against us the odds seem to be stacked
Why is it that it never takes long
Before she is hurt by what we do wrong
Still we remember the day she was born
We ran through town tooting our own horn
That Love how can we ever get back
And is life worth it if that's the Love We lack
We never stop paying for years that we're out of our mind
When even rock bottom we couldn't find
So through out the rest of our years
For her we may shed many tears
There is no one else we can even blame
And no matter what we'll love her just the same
Maybe when a few more years she has lived
We will be someone she can forgive
We now write this with a very shattered heart
Hoping and Praying for a new start
Young lady if this you should read
Please believe it's your Love that we really need!
