To my children

To my children

I'm sorry for not being there,
As much as I should.
I'm sorry for not cherishing you,
When I really could.

I'm sorry I did not put you above,
Trying to make a life.
I'm sorry I did not like i should,
Love your mother and my wife.

I'm sorry that I got wrapped up,
In success and making a name.
I'm sorry that I overlooked,
That you are my claim to fame.

I'm sorry that I am not there,
But I can not wait to see.
Your smiling faces and hear your laughs,
When you are here with me.
