Building Bridges

You phoned me up tonight 

you held out an olive branch and I grabbed it tight 

A suggestion to go to the park tomorrow 

You said you missed her, I felt your sorrow

"let's take the little one to the park"

What a shock, what a remark

As I've sat and wished for so very long

To feel like a family, together we're strong

I heard the hopefullness in your voice

I felt as though I had no choice

But to say yes and agree to plan a day, 

Where all the sorrow would go away

For I can tell that you truly fear, What I'll think of you when you're no longer here

To be honest I don't care about myself

I will place my anger at the back of the shelf, 

Just to see my daughter's smile shine bright

As you push her on the swing with all your might 

For one day only let's just pretend

That maybe, perhaps our family can mend
