Am I Now A Stranger To my Kids

Memories of your faces

Burn inside my mind,

But traces of your Footsteps

On my Heart I cannot find.

I hear whispers of your voices

It makes you feel close by,

But our time apart gets longer

And it's harder not to cry.

As years go by the Memories fade

Lost Memories I regret,

I fight to keep our Memories close

But life makes me forget.

I pretend my life has meaning

As the passing years go by,

Just when I think I'm stronger

I think of you and cry.

I count the days till I see your face

Do you do the same?

Or am I now a stranger

With no one left to blame.

Do you think about me often?

Am I a happy thought to you?

Or am I now a Stranger

Just a chore you have to do.
