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
