I'm Sorry

Daughter's guilt about the unexpected loss of her father.

I'm sorry I can not hear your voice,

I'm sorry I can not see you smile,

I'm sorry that I do not have a choice,

If I did I would run for miles.

I'm sorry things did not work out with mom and you,

I'm sorry you only saw me on Sundays for a little amount of time,

I'm sorry I never answered when you called too,

I treated you terribly, even though I knew you would give me your last dime.

I'm sorry for not caring about you enough,

I'm sorry you had to leave our family,

I'm sorry that your life had to be rough,

Because if not, I wouldn't sit here and cry, normally.

I'm sorry that I didn't get to see you before you had to go away,

I'm sorry you didn't get to see me graduate,

I'm sorry you won't be able to walk me down the aisle on my big day.

It just sucks that this was your fate.

I'm sorry for everything because you did everything for me, 

I'm sorry I didn't want you around and tried to be cool in front of my friends,

I'm sorry that I was young and couldn't see what you see,

I thought you'd be around forever, but you knew life eventually ends.

When you're young you don't see what's in the future (Today is what you live for). It's when you get older or lose someone dear that you regret not getting to know them while they were here. Very good write.
