LETTER TO MY KIDS

When I was young my ambition in life Was to finish way ahead of the game Such a shame y'all paying the price In this race of fortune and fame I really feel apologetic inside Though you'd never think to give me the blame Hits me when I look in both Y'all eyes Wonder was it really worth all the pain Now to know what it takes And the height of the stakes Is it fair in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our stakes Still my heart how it breaks Every time that I see your smile Conversation on the phone is fine But for me it couldn't ever replace Being there to spend the quality time Tuck you in and see the smile on your face So when you're old enough to read these lines Hope you never find your self in my place Hope you never feel as lonely as I Or miss the warmth of you child embrace Now to know what it takes And the height of the stakes Is it fair in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our stakes Still my heart how it breaks Every time that I see your smile Now to know what it takes And the height of the stakes Is it fair in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our stakes Still my heart how it breaks Every time that I see your smile Now to know what it takes And the height of the stakes Is it fair in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our stakes Still my heart how it breaks Every time that I see your smile
