I wish I could be with you everyday But my children you live so far away Your mother decided it must be that way And this is the price that I must pay
I speak to you whenever I can on the phone But that doesn’t stop me from feeling alone I try to sound happy in a positive tone I’m sorry that mum and I broke up your home
When you are older you might understand Why things didn’t work out how we had planned Our foundations were built on shifting sand Eventually the marriage could no longer stand
But please don’t feel guilty because you’re not to blame It wasn’t to be and that is a shame I realise things will never be the same But into my life I’m so glad you came
Now it’s quality time that we must share Enjoying the moments whilst I am there For you it seems cruel and justly unfair But I want you to know I still love you and care

that exactly how I feel .. so every moment I get with them is precious ... because before we know it they will be flying the nest ... great poem coockiemonster .... and I always remind them they are not to blame and that sometimes it is not to be ,,, but it does not stop the love I have for them..
