I'm sorry I wasn't always there <br />To lighten every carried heavy burden. <br />To maybe wash away your tears of pain <br />Remove that vail of life's dark and drawn curtain. <br /> <br />To hold and rock you when needed in my arms <br />Tell you everythings going to be alright. <br />To sit beside your bed and pray <br />At the hospital that last pain-filled night. <br /> <br />I tried to be the best I could for you <br />While you were in my life. <br />Asking God to spare taking you from me <br />Taking you, from me your loving wife. <br /> <br />Hope you knew how much that I loved you <br />Even if we didn't get to say our last, 'Goodbye.' <br />But know my dear you will always live in my heart <br />Until I am with you one day by your side.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sorry-i-wasn-t-there/
