Prelude

Every evening as the sun sinks, slowly from the sky

I feel the teardrops forming in the corner of my eye.

No longer can I hide behind the chaos of the day

Alone now with my thoughts, I slowly drift away

For each night as the sun goes down like clockworth come the tears.

Sadness for the days I’ve lost that are quickly becoming years.

My heart is oh so heavy, my very soul sinks like lead

As I wonder what are the thoughts, going through her head.

She knows, as do, that I tried only to help her out

Why has she rejected me, what is it all about?

I know that I have made mistakes, probably more than most

Yet I do not believe in my heart that I should be as  a ghost

But that is what I have become. A shadow in her life

If only she know just how deep  she has cut me with that knife.

Each day as time passes,  the sadness grows and grows

How long can this go on? Only my daughter knows.

A mothers love is absolute. That I now understand.

For I would forgive her anything for a chance to hold her hand.

I wish there was some way to express, the emptiness that I feel

And how little it would take for me to begin to heal

As I do each and every night, I pray to the glowing moon

That this too shall pass, and I pray that it be soon
