The Day I Left You

The day I left you, You ran hand-in-hand, I released you from me But it was never the plan. I was hardened by life I was begging to feel I was lost in my soul Down trodden for years. Some days I look back Feeling my pain...your pain? We never talked about it Is there something to gain? You're older now, such beautiful men, You have always been the better part of me, I'm proud of you, can you see? I'm sorry my children...that I said goodbye. You were the light of my life Today I finally cried... Please come to me Please speak your mind I need to hear your truth I can handle it this time. Lets stand together, Lets hold each other's hands, Leaving you that day... It was never my plan...I'm sorry.

Sorry for such a sad poem but it's a day I never forgot. It's burned in my mind. All is well now with my adult boys...I pray they forget about it but I'm sure they didn't...we just have never talked about it. Thanks for reading. Happy Thanksgiving.
