I look up ... and I can not see you
I look around ... and I do not know you
I search and search ... and I can not find you
I wonder where you have gone
I look up ... and now I see you
I look around ... until I know you
I search and search and then I find you
I left you wandering all alone
I look up ... and now I see you
There you are ... right where I left you
It wasn't you that strayed away
I lost you on my own
Come sit by me ...
And please forgive me ...
Sweet child of mine
When I looked up today into my sweet girl's eyes ... I could see that she did not believe that I was seeing her - hearing her - acknowledging her. I hurt her deeply.
When I looked up today into my sweet girl's eyes ... I was reminded through the swell of tears ... that she does so much to please me. That I am sometimes very hard on her. That I could not have been more wrong.
When I looked up today into my sweet girls' eyes ... I felt shame.
I love you ... my sweet girl.
I am sorry.
I see you and I hear you and I was stricken by the sadness that I caused you ...
I will stop and try to realize that so much of what I say and do can hurt you, as well as ... lift you up.
I will stop because ...
I hear you ...
I know you ...
And I see you ...
Come sit next to me and forgive me ...
Please forgive me.
