Uneven Score

Why must it be, why is it so?
All he has done, you’ve struck the blow.
You're always too be busy, every day.
When did he ever not find a way?

Made your dreams come true one by one.
He moved the moon the stars and the sun.
He never complained, stuck to each chore
When he was done, just asked for more.

More work to do, to make you smile
Not thinking of self, mile after mile.
Yet knowing this, so easy you say no.
“I’ve things to do, I’ve places to go.”

My family, my job they fill up my day.
“When I get through, I’ll try to find a way.
A way to help you, but at the same time,
I’ll remind you I have a full mind.”

Do you not remember or do you not care?
This is the person who was always there.
Who am I to say, what I have said
I’ll tell you who, I’m the one who is afraid.

I fear you have lost far more than you know.
Not his love of you, but his inner glow.
Whenever your name is spoken
