Hind Sight

Hind Sight

I wish I could've been kinder to you.
I wish I could've walked a little slower,
Maybe I could've caught up with you.

I wish I could've shared more, cared more,
Not have been so scared more.

I wish I could've loved you more when it mattered
Helped you more when you were broken down and shattered.

I wish I could've seen the way things were,
What you needed, helped you through the blur.

I wish I wasn't so busy with my life,
To walk a little slower, help you through your strife.

You're supposed to protect your mom right,
Throw down, buck up and put up a fight.

I gave up, fell down & walk away,
didn't have NO MO time that day.
You feel me? Hear what I say?

I wish I could hug you again, kiss you again,
Go back to being a kid and have you sing to me again.
You are my Sunshine she'd used to say,
Now I make sure mine hear it every single day.

In the closet with peanut butter, crackers, jelly and some jam.
Please mom please we won't do it again!
I wish...man, I just wish...

I wish I could've taken more time to get to know her.
I wish I could've grabbed her by the hand and walked a little slower.
