I've been called selfish
Immature & too self-involved.
But since I've had my children
I know I have evolved.
Their needs come before mine.
Their needs are ALWAYS first.
Now that they are away from me
My life has been cursed.
They make my heart beat
They are the best thing I ever did.
They are the light of my life.
God's greatest gift, my kids.
They are my reason for going on
They make me strive to do well.
Being without them daily
Is a living hell.
I used to walk them to & from school
Took them everywhere I went
They are a gift from The Lord
They were truly Heaven Sent.
They were the only ones in the world
Who I know for sure love me.
They tell me each time we talk
How they miss me & think of me.
We just video chat now
I don't see them anymore.
This is my greatest failure
Losing my children I so adore.
I see my sons getting taller
Becoming young men.
I smile when we chat
But cry when our
Conversation ends.
I cry for all the time I've lost
I cry because I miss them so.
Without them I feel empty
With so much PAIN & SORROW.
I am trying to move on
But this pain is too great.
I want to just hold my children
Before it's too late.
They say no man knows when it's his time.
But I feel my time is soon going to end.
I could never rest peacefully
If didn't see my beautiful
Children again.
I feel death creeping up on me
I hear it coming on fast.
I just want to spend some time with my children
Before my next breath becomes my last.
So Lord before you take me
Please hear my one small request.
Let me please see my children
Before I take my final rest.
**please hear my prayer
