Father's Regret
There was a day long ago, something happened for a reason,
Which made my Mom and Dad sad every Christmas Season.
They relived the tragedy over and over in their heads,
I know there were times my Dad wished he were the one that was dead.
There wasn’t a day gone by they didn’t think about her life,
And all the pain and agony cut them like a knife.
My Mom being her best friend and my Dad being her man,
One of the biggest wishes in life was to once more hold her hand.
They told me stories all the time I felt I knew her too,
And, I always try to tell my Dad there was nothing you could do.
Everything happens for a reason some say, just be strong and always pray.
My Dad always said when I die there I need to say one thing
That I am sorry for what I’ve done, being said while the angels sing.
He carried around the pain for approximately thirty years,
He carried it so often; my family shed so many tears.
The bible says your loved ones can see you from up there,
That we cannot see them, is what I feel is not fair.
But I know they will meet again on one glorious day,
And God will keep them safe from harm in every single way.
