- To my lost children -

Even though sticks and stones
keep me
from where I belong.
The days sleep
my thoughts remain with you.
love
I wish I could share with you
keeps me grounded.
Saying
I'm sorry
could never kiss you goodnight
or
Send you off to your first day of school
but in my own way
knowing I failed you
keeps me
from being the man
I used to be

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope that your children will see that your absence doesn't mean they aren't loved by you. My father has never wanted to be there and is no longer a part of my life, you can rebuild the relationship when you are released.

We will print and mail your reply by . Guidelines
