The ones I love, by Joseph W Cartlidge Subscribe to rss feed for Joseph W Cartlidge

A day will come, I won't be sad, and to be alive will make
me glad. 
You see my life is upside down, I cannot smile, I only
frown. 
The loves I've lost have left me numb, the pains to hard to
overcome. 
But hopefully as time goes by, I won't sit alone and cry. 
I miss my family oh so much, their happy smiles, the gentle
touch. 
I really hope they understand, why I'm a broken, bitter man.

They've been my life for oh so long, without them now, I
must be strong.
To my three children whom I adore, I wish you'd walk back
through my door. 
And to my wife of eighteen years, with whom I've shared my
hopes and fears 
When I dream, your all I see, smiling, pretty as can be. 
But when I wake I realize, it's me your truly do despise. 
How can love erode so fast, my love for you will always
last. 
So Amy, Tristan, Josie and Jack, I know I'll never have you
back. 
But as I write these words to you, know my love is here for
you.
