At times I feel selfish
when I sit and cry
and think about the time
and blessings that have passed me by.

I didn't get to experience
a bit of the love you forever
this love I have runs deep.

I need to watch you grow
into the person I know you'll be
So, I have these memories
to sustain me.

Although I can do none of these
and I cry with a heavy heart
deep inside I know
we're never really apart.

Through all I have missed
my love still abound
I thank God each day
for you Mom and Dad, I found.

For Dalton- The very core of my heart.
