I didn't mean to cause you pain,
I didn't have anything to gain.
Truly, I wanted to be there,
your first steps, words, growth of hair.
I missed a lot, but it was a mistake,
Sorry that i missed your birthdays, your first cake.
Your mother raised you well, I see,
I'm happy for you, my bumble bee.
I know you heard jokes about my absence.
I know you had it tough, without your old man,
I should've been there for you,
for your mother, too.
I'm truly sorry, I really am,
You deserve better, I didn't meed to scram.
You're my kid and I love you,
tell your mom I love her too.
