Dear child that I never knew, who knew? I was growing up but no showing up in your life, my life now without you, That I would miss your alls, joys, your pains, happiness and your sorrows, My choice was, live for today but I killed our tomorrow, All grown up without the help of a so-called dad, I stole for granted all those things now I will never have, I look back with regret and suspect you won't let, The sun ever set on a child of your own that you never met, Can't wipe your eyes when you cried, Pride wouldn't let me be a man when I was still a boy inside, I tried but I lied to the one you can't lie to, So my only advice is to yourself be true.
