Time Lost

TIME LOST Isn't life too short Always thought we would have time Enough to catch up Make up for all lost time You didn't choose I know To be away most of the time You wanted as much as I did To share most of your life with me Life forced us apart You had to be somewhere far Earning a living for us You didn't know where dad was Swallowed by distance Hidden by mountains Thoughts and mind twisted Young manhood stupidity Heart stolen by parasites Chasing the wind to nobody knows where Memory of us thrown out the window I treasured all your visits Countable and short lived The call of duty Always wished you'd stay a bit longer The emotional farewells tear soaked Heartbreaking to see the back of your head Your heart carrying me always Always thought some day there will be time Enough to tell you how much I love you How much I missed you And always wished you were there Life stole you from me Gone for good you leave me Emotionally shattered,tear soaked Heartbreaking to let you go Have to let you sleep though I will always love you Rest mama
