AN: from one angel, to another.
----------------------------------------------
I'm sorry I had to leave you
But I guess it was my time
I'm sorry that you were so young
When you heard the church bells chime.
I'm sorry that I missed your first steps
And that you hear your daddy cry
I'm sorry that you see his sadness
When he says that you have your mothers eyes
I'm sorry I couldn't make your birthday cake
And that I didn't get to watch you grow
I'm sorry I couldn't watch you open your presents
Or play with you in the snow.
I'm sorry I wasn't there for your first day at school
I want you to know that I was very proud
I'm sorry the little boy didn't understand
When you said your mummy wasn't around
I'm sorry I couldn't teach you to plait your hair
Or bake cookies like I'd planned
I'm sorry I couldn't read you bed time stories
Where you'd fall asleep holding my hand
I'm sorry you don't understand
Why you don't have a mummy when your friends do
I'm sorry I couldn't comfort you
When daddy was at work and you had the flu
I'm sorry I couldn't teach you to paint your nails
That we didn't get to gossip and laugh
I'm sorry I never got to know you
But your daddy's there on my behalf
I'm sorry that you were the one to find him
Hanging from the noose in the tree
I'm sorry that after all that time
He couldn't face another day without me
I'm sorry that its my fault your alone
And that you felt so much pain
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
The time you silently cried in the rain
But please know that I have always loved you
And am so proud of how brave you've are
So please don't be sad my darling little girl
We may be with the angels now but you'll always be our star.
