I'M Far But I'M Near

Although it feels I'm far just know I'm near
Physically absent, my dear
But always in your heart, I need you to know I'm here
Torn from my baby boy at 18 months
Leaving you to survive such unthinkable taunts
I've  watched  you grow over the years and I  must say I'm incredibly  proud of the man you've become
 I know at times my memorial stories are as unhealed scars but when you hang your head low  baby look  to the stars 
For I am your Guardian angel...you  are a conquer   I'll  see you through the pain and the awes 
My baby, my son, my one and only prized possession  I'm  sorry you  were  Robbed  of my love and affection 
But your  father did awesome as my life ended yours however just begun
Don't  be sad my love, don't  allow heaviness to grip your heart but  instead think happy thoughts and know most importantly  I'm far but I'm near
Physically  absent my dear 
But in your  heart shall I continue  to live
