my old dad

MY OLD DAD

father tries to hold it together

but inside you know he's crying

thinking of  the things

he could of been

but gave up trying


he's not a man

to let his feeling show

somehow now

they are too strong

has he reaches the end

you know

the  guilt and shame start to show


off days he never

spent with his kids

or told his wife

he loved her

always telling himself

there's always be a tomorrow


just looking in to his eyes

you can see

all the things he missed

pass by


looking back he says

you know how times flies

but when you're there

you think you have forever

at some point

it becomes to late

at some point

there are no more tomorrows


so even thou

its to late for him

he'd just like to say

take your time

to say

I love you

hold that person

like this time will

be the last

because one day

it will

don't leave it to the end

to say

I love you

don't have regrets

like my old dad
