My Fault

It's my fault but I’ll never Get that chance to kneel By your bedside and pray with you Never to tuck you in and lay With you till you run off to Meet Mr. Sandman You made me this Poetic soul yet You’ll never get to inherit This daddy's poetic soul It’s my fault but I’ll never Be able to hold your hand On the first day of preschool And beg you not to cry Cause daddy will be right back Now mommy and I won’t ever Lay on our backs Under moonlight with you And point out those twilights Or two days later put that first Dollar from the tooth fairy It’s my fault that you’re Not here right now If only I found the Courage to build a time Machine will take us back And I’ll get to hear that first cry Skinned knees and all All the “he’s getting tall” It’s my fault that I won’t Ever take your graduation Pictures or that you won’t be At mine cause you were supposed To be written into my plans But weren't I just stained My hands and let you die ask God to forgive your daddy For you not being here I know it’s my fault
