Forgiveness

Another recital has come and gone
and I didn't see you there
I studied every face walking through the door 
and I search through every chair

Where were you when I needed you
to hug me and wipe the tears away
to remind me how strong I was
when I was having a weak day

It was hard to understand what I did wrong
cause I was your baby girl at the start
But things started to change and you didn't have time
that's what really broke my heart

But holding this pain only hurts me
I'm still angry but I gotta let go
cause I'll stay stuck as that same little girl
and she'll never get the chance to grow

It might take some time to get through this
and even though I'll have moments when I cry
I forgive you today and forever
and I'll love you til the day that I die

Sometimes it is hard for parents to work around their work scheduled work time to be in all places at the times needed to support their children which is very hard on all of the parties involved. I think when that happens, the parent needs to try in so many ways to support the children when they can. Parents should explain this to them in terms they can understand. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It has good flow, rhythm and rhyme. Congratulations on being featured on homepage. Sara K
