Never Forget About Me
As the days turn to years and the now becomes the then of the past
I watch you blossom and become the person you were always meant to be
My head spins as i think of our life and realize its all gone much to fast
The babe I once held no longer seems to truly even need me
Have I done what was right have i stumbled or failed
Did I nuture the soul of this free thinking human being
Some days I miss the way you would cry the sound you once wailed
the memorys that had been so strong are now spotty and fleeting
I wonder if you'll ever know what you meant to me how hard i tried
now a days you wont talk to me we used to be best friends
I was there when you laughed when you screamed and cried
A cold teenage shoulder cant be the way this ends
Even now I think i need you more than you ever needed me
Without your life i would not know what it means to live
Someday you'll find out just how i did then i know you'll see
love is not something you take its a gift you must give
All the times i thought i couldn't be the person I had to become
A father a teacher a man just struggling to do what seems right
All the trials ups and downs i don't how i didn't break and succumb
A child myself when i first saw your eyes on that frightening night
You taught me so much did i give you the lessons to find your way
Did i strengthen your soul enough for you to conquer your fear
I know its time for you to go but something inside says wait please stay
I know your not my babe any longer but ill always want you so close and so near
As we say goodbye i realize now you've been my strength and my rock
It was you not I that brought this love free of blame no condition
May life be kind to you but call me sometime i need to just talk
you changed my heart my life my soul iv e been wrong by my own admission
You are the best of everything in me A testament to life a promise of love
I'm am you but you are not me i hope you find happiness and a way to be free
My precious child my sweet gift from above
I love you so much please before you leave sware you'll never forget about me
