Dear Loved one br Do not think that the bitter words I write br Are meant for you br And realize that the sweet ones br Carry my simple messages br Where words cannot continue br br I write because it's what I've done br Both before br And after you br And I will continue because it's my key out br Of this hard hard world br Oh broken battered country br br So do not become discouraged br If I write with bitter vile br It's not for you, trust me dear br I write because I can br I will not forget br There's no way I am able br br Only realize the love I have br When I see those tender eyes of his br My father, half my own soul br A perfect man in every sense br Because perfect lies in trying br And he gives his all br br So do not hate his words or mine br Realize instead the origin br Of our thoughts, both written and recieved br And do not back away br But only understand the bond br That is irreversible.
