As I sit and ponder,
and feel my heart ache,
Your love I feel, a love I forsake.
As the tears stream down my face and fall,
I wish so much that you would call.
Your love I feel, a love I forsake.
As the tears stream down my face and fall,
I wish so much that you would call.
I take a paper and
pen in hand,
I start to write my dreams, my plan.
To tell you so you'll understand,
The thoughts and feelings of this old man.
I start to write my dreams, my plan.
To tell you so you'll understand,
The thoughts and feelings of this old man.
Forgive me my child
for my absence, I pled,
For all the times I never tucked you in bed.
Forgive me for not hugging you when you felt so alone,
Forgive me for missing the time that we owned.
For all the times I never tucked you in bed.
Forgive me for not hugging you when you felt so alone,
Forgive me for missing the time that we owned.
I worked many hours
to try and forget,
The pain and the agony that my life beget.
Trying to forget the anguish so strong,
But I know now, that I was wrong.
The pain and the agony that my life beget.
Trying to forget the anguish so strong,
But I know now, that I was wrong.
The days pass quickly,
my time almost done,
I'm going home to her, to my cherished one.
My last wish on earth before I take flight,
Is to ask your forgiveness if I might.
I'm going home to her, to my cherished one.
My last wish on earth before I take flight,
Is to ask your forgiveness if I might.
I want to be able
to tell her you're fine,
Tell her I'm proud you're a child of mine.
Let her know your hearts feelings, your hopes your dreams,
Let her know all is well with your life it seems.
Tell her I'm proud you're a child of mine.
Let her know your hearts feelings, your hopes your dreams,
Let her know all is well with your life it seems.
Share with her memories
of your adventures in life,
Tell her how sweet you looked, tucked in at night.
Describe to her your smile so endearing,
About all the happy moments and love we've been sharing.
Tell her how sweet you looked, tucked in at night.
Describe to her your smile so endearing,
About all the happy moments and love we've been sharing.
I know she will want
to know this and more,
When she comes to meet me at the door.
I want to be able to tell her all is well with you,
So please, forgive this old heart, I beg of you.
When she comes to meet me at the door.
I want to be able to tell her all is well with you,
So please, forgive this old heart, I beg of you.
My one wish is too
see you before I succumb,
To gaze at you, talk to you, share some good fun.
I know I was wrong, and don't blame you at all,
If you choose to forget me, never to call.
To gaze at you, talk to you, share some good fun.
I know I was wrong, and don't blame you at all,
If you choose to forget me, never to call.
So if you can find
in your heart to forgive,
I will try and compensate for as long as I live.
It doesn't come close to what should have been,
But please, I beg you, let's start again.
I will try and compensate for as long as I live.
It doesn't come close to what should have been,
But please, I beg you, let's start again.
As I sit and write
this letter to you,
I know you've suffered and have been blue.
But know I have loved you from the start,
And in my heart, we were never apart.
I know you've suffered and have been blue.
But know I have loved you from the start,
And in my heart, we were never apart.
Because I never showed
my feelings to you,
I caused you grief, caused hurt feelings too.
I know we can't make up for the years we've lost,
What's in my heart, I'll show you, no matter the cost.
I caused you grief, caused hurt feelings too.
I know we can't make up for the years we've lost,
What's in my heart, I'll show you, no matter the cost.
I hope I'm not too
late with this plea of forgiveness,
But I've always loved you, as God is my witness.
I know I never showed what was in my heart,
That was a mistake, a pain I've lived with thus far.
But I've always loved you, as God is my witness.
I know I never showed what was in my heart,
That was a mistake, a pain I've lived with thus far.
As my fingers set
down the pen on the desk,
My thoughts turn to you and I have to ask.
Will you forgive this old man his sins?
And let me show you the love, you deserve, before my life dims?
My thoughts turn to you and I have to ask.
Will you forgive this old man his sins?
And let me show you the love, you deserve, before my life dims?
I walk to the mailbox,
my hands they do shake,
I place the letter inside, a silent prayer I make.
Forgive me my child, for the lost years, and your pain,
A letter of love to you, a small token,
Of the thoughts, love, and feelings unspoken.
I place the letter inside, a silent prayer I make.
Forgive me my child, for the lost years, and your pain,
A letter of love to you, a small token,
Of the thoughts, love, and feelings unspoken.
So I start my journey
for peace and contentment,
Putting things right, and mending the bent.
Life is too short, I'm glad I've awoken.
To the light of truth that was never spoken.

Life is too short, I'm glad I've awoken.

Don't wait until it's
too late to tell the people who mean so much to you that you love them. It only
takes three little words..."I LOVE YOU"...to make a difference in
someone's life and your own. Time waits for no one. Don't wait! Do it now!

IS A CLOSED HEART"
