LEGACY

© RYAN GUILEY

When you hold him so tight,

His eyes shine with a smile,

A future legacy who will fight,

All three of them, have their own style.

 

I can smell his scent miles away,

His soft skin while he giggles,

He will capture your heart every day,

I can feel him move as he wiggles.

 

I miss all their expressions so much,

I hope they all are doing well,

We are proud, as it gives us a rush,

As a father, I knew but wouldn’t tell.

 

Now I hope you understand better,

Why I was not attached in ways,

Maybe I should have told you in a letter,

I knew it was going to happen someday.

 

I know who was behind the whole ordeal,

I will forgive her but it is still not right,

A mother should know how her child feels,

Don’t blame yourself, they will turn out bright.

 

Just remember you are the best Mom,

At the time, I couldn’t function and get ahead,

You supported me and you are the bomb,

I had too much info stored in my head.

 

Info that I knew prior, but was scared,

I could only trust you to a certain degree,

You didn’t understand the magnitude so I feared,

Secrets with the case I kept, as you will agree.

 

Ever think about it, why I did certain things?

I was just leaving traces so you could figure,

As I knew one day, justice would bring,

Our voices, which is a whole lot bigger.
