Jasmine
Jasmine…
Your getting to be a big girl now; sometimes I feel I have failed you
Jasmine…
It is not because I didn’t love you or didn’t care
Jasmine....
Daddy is not perfect. I’ve made mistakes;
But being away from you has been a constant heartache
Jasmine…
In the past, I have chased women and ran the streets;
But if I could, I would change the past in a heartbeat!
Jasmine….
There were nights I laid awake thinking only of you;
If only you could feel my heartache and what I have gone through
Jasmine….
Eight years away from you has been long enough!
I am about to come home and I’m gonna give you all my love!
Jasmine….
I need you princess- like the air I breathe
Jasmine….
More than life, and nothing less, yes, this time I will never leave!!!
*Dedicated to my oldest daughter, Jasmine Ann Anderson
