Forgiveness - Amy Sky

You were a working man

With eight mouths to feed

You rose with the dawn

You were a mystery man

We were desperate to please

Every daughter and son

Hiding in corners

I prayed for your smile

You were a forbidden mountain

Through the eyes of a child

Longing to slip my small cold hand in yours

Face to the window

Always hungry for more

Did you know

How I waited for you

With my unfinished business

Did you know

How I gave up on you

Now I’m seeking forgiveness

Daddy lies dreaming

In a body of stone

With a new kind of silence

His soul is dparting

The flesh and the bon

I sit down beside him

Slowly he turns

And his eyes search my face

I summon a smile

And I tell him my name

There’s mist in his eyes

And there’s pain in the grey

And if he could speak

It’s as if he could say

Did you know

How I waited for you

With my unfinished business

Did you know

That my heart was true

And I’m seeking forgiveness

Time slips on by

And the years got away

Daddy if you hear me

Is it too late to say

Did you know

If you know

If you know me at all

You know all is forgiven

When you go
