Distant Father

I have to watch you grow for a distance,
And man this shit hurts me every day,
I just hope while you two get older,
I won't have to watch my every chance fade away,

I want to tell you that I love you,
And brush the hair out of your face,
We both are missing out on a forever,
That no time to come could ever replace,

Do you still know that I'm your father,
Do you remember your hand in my hand,
Is there anything that I could tell you,
Or is it too late for you to understand,

I don't want to be away from your life,
Can you believe that i fight as hard as I can,
Being away from you two for this long,
Was never supposed to be part of the plan,

I pray every night that we'll be together again,
Your the only reason I'm still pushing through,
Just please don't forget that daddy misses you too,
And everything I do is saying I love you.
