I could have spent these past few weeks explaining WHY,
but instead I decided to step up, to TRY
to make up for lost time.
I admit to my crime.
I should have been there for my son. I was NOT.
All I can say is that I never forgot
how his eyes would shine
when they looked into mine.
Now he's a man with his own family to tend;
old enough to call mom a friend.
He doesn't hold on
to the childhood that's gone.
My boy has grown to be one hell of a man;
I'm going to make it up to him if I can.
