Carved Out In Stone (Free verse) by calilegzzz
You wrote of our love, Forever carved out in stone, But what of our boys, And their happy home? You were their daddy, You could do no wrong, Now they see you a coward, Where they once saw you strong. I believed you to be a man of your word, So many promises broken, were better left unheard. Remeber your promise, "You'll never raise them alone"? Just a fool to believe, you had carved that in stone. Sitting here now though, its your voice I still hear, And its your face that I see, beneath falling tears. There is so much unsaid, no anwsers, just why? What was so wrong, that you could no longer try? Now here we are, the boys and I, Together, yet each so alone... Standing next to whats left, of their daddy so dear, Just your name... CARVED OUT IN STONE..... Lisa Rene Henderson Copyright ©2003 Lisa Rene Henderson
