A Birthday Gone

Today's your birthday,

I'm sorry I'm not there.

I wish you could understand,

I had to move.

I had no other choice,

I will always love you.

You and your sister,

You both are my kids.

I miss you, 

I want to see you.

I can't,

I live so far away.

Let me explain,

I moved because I couldn't handle it.

I couldn't take the responsibility.

I know that y'all are my siblings,

But I raised you. 

I should have some say,

But I can't.

I was stressed,

You weren't the problem.

I was,

I'll miss your birthday for years to come.

I love you Samuel,

I love you Rachel.

I love you both,

Tell Mom that I miss her...
