Most days I wonder what life would be like watching you grow Yet it is too painful to bear this thought constantly at flow A gift I could not keep A precious pearl kept hidden in the deep I was scared and afraid of what your life would be If you stayed in my care, oh if only you see It was my only choice My only source of voice I didn't have you through love I was forced I was pushed I was a caged dove But nothing can comprehend this feeling of guilt The years of agony and suffering that has been built If I ever get to see you again I don't know what I'll say Praying for your forgiveness Grows heavier each and everyday These never ending thoughts overwhelming my mind Like travelling down a road with no exit signs I hope you understand I hope you believe That I was not able to give you The life you could of had I hope you can forgive A young mother's painful mistake Just know I always love you I'm sorry baby boy
