Growing  up with out your,
Father  in your life.

I'm doing  all I can,

Find  it in your heart,
To  understand,
Why I'm  not around,
And forgive  me for not,
Being  in your life.

Not  just what is wed  to you.
I  pray I get the chance,
To  make it up  to you,
We've  got a lot of,
Catching  up to do.
