My Dearest Schylar

Dearest Schylar, these words seek forgiveness for dad. Forgiveness for unfulfilled promises, that makes me so sad. My heart ache, my mood is gloomy, yes I am crying. My daughter, these promises were not broken for a lack of trying. Church was our thing, all looked in awe as you sing However, i failed to tell you bout Jesus and angels with wings. I also failed to mention uncle Adam and aunt Eve. Conversations we never had is just adding to my grieve At night I prayed for protection over you, And asked the Almighty God what else to do. We bought you so many gifts, some still sealed. Spent money on medical bills, yet your secrets were never revealed! For your uncle's wedding I promised you a dance, But everyone thought you so cute and we never got the chance. I even promised you a house by the ocean! Just imagine us watching the waves in motion. I promised to be your feet if you can't walk, Your tongue if you can't talk, You eyes if you can't see, I promised you everything I can be! But when death came calling I was't there to hold your hand As the bottom of the hourglass filled with sand. Our prayers for a miracle was all in vain Hopeless we stared at your body, oh the pain! God ask us to love Him and sing His praises Was my mistake maybe that I loved Him to little? And you too much? Forgive me my child but you were to precious to love less
