– Now I Understand –
I never really knew him
But I sure did Hate him
Now I Understand
I used to Hate him for Leaving
With his death
There were no tears
There was no Grieving
Never there for birthdays
Bike rides
Or games played
Always, his whereabouts Deceiving
He said he’d stop by
I was never Believing
Never sent a Christmas card
to showcase
To put on display
I never really knew him
But I sure did Hate him
Now I Understand
Life isn’t easy
For some people
Depression has a power
To consume one whole
Body and Soul
It starts to take its toll
I never really knew him
Now I Understand
And I forgive Him
