Children, My Heart

I know sometimes you wonder if I miss you,

or even if I love you at all.

I know that I never send you any letters,

and it's been awhile for a call.

I know that I don't get to visit very often,

and you wonder where I've been.

I know you wish I would come see you,

I will, I just don't know when.

I know I didn't get to call you again today,

but you never leave my mind.

I know there is so much that I need to do,

but the time is so hard to find.

I know that you say I don't think about you,

but I do, every single day.

It's what keeps me going, from job to job,

I think about you along the way.

I know I didn't call you once again today,

but for me it's all the same.

I have been awake for over thirty hours,

I barely know my own name.

I know another day has come and gone,

I haven't even sent a text.

Just know that you are always on my mind,

as I wonder when I'll sleep next.

I know that it's been such a long while now,

these tears are meant for you.

Just know that I love you guys more than life,

I just hope you still love me too.
