I WISH YOU COULD SEE THE PAIN IN MY EYES,
OR CATCH A FEW OF THE MANY TEARS I CRY.
I WISH YOU COULD HEAR THE PRAYERS YOUR NEPHEWS PRAY,
WHEN THEY ASK ABOUT YOU, I WISH YOU WOULD GIVE ME THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY.
I WISH YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAY YOU, WHO
TURNED YOUR BACK ON US, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
I WISH YOU KNEW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU….
I HOPE THERE NEVER COMES A DAY,
WHEN YOU NEED US, BECAUSE THE LAST FEW YEARS
ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS PUSH US AWAY.
YOU HOLD GRUDGES LONGER THAN ANY ONE I HAVE EVER KNOWN,
BUT DANNIE IT IS TIME TO BURY THE HATCHET YOU’RE GROWN….
IT BROKE MY HEART THE OTHER DAY I SEEN A PICTURE OF MATTIE
AND I DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT WAS HER……
DANNIE I FIND THAT VERY SAD,
BUT I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING IT MAKES ME MAD.
YOU HAVE HURT ALL OF US MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW,
BECAUSE WE HIDE IT WELL AND REFUSE TO LET IT SHOW.
PLEASE KNOW WE LOVE AND MISS YOU DANNIE…….
AND I AM THE NUBER ONE FAN OF THE MAN YOU USED TO BE……
