My child, I'm right here,
Looking for reasons for the things I've done,
Why I went to the places I did,
and how my feelings kept me away for so long.

As I went away,
You wasted another day.
I guess I wasn't as important
As you used to say.
Most fathers recall when their children were born -
that instant bond that could never be torn.
Most fathers watch as their children grow

This letter is dedicated to families
who have suffered living

The unsung heroes who are never recognized,
I have a love for meth that no one can understand.
And nothing in this world can make me feel the way she can.
Since the first time I met her I knew she was the one.
Never questioning or judging me despite the things I've done.

I was 25, you were only 28.
A thousand times we tried to help you,

In her life there was some joy.
Then one day she met a boy.
He seemed to take away her tears.
