The Echoes in my mind, warn me that I have done a wrong.
That I have hurt the innocence of a child who can no longer belong.
I try so hard to hide the terror, the guilt and the shame,
but as I watch my children grow , I know it is me who is to blame.

I could have held you tightly,
I could have sung you gentle songs
But you were not allowed to be because I couldn't be strong.

I know I let you down,
when you were only new
I hid away, and lied to all
because I didn't have a clue,

I cant remove what happened,
by mind tortures my soul
I pray to God that in heaven
some day we can both be whole!
