The Things I Never Told My Children - Mikhail Bennett
One day you'll look
or follow albums
and see a younger man in me
A father's smile through the hard times
Trying to be stronger than he seemed
There were nights I sat there worrying
Praying while the whole house slept
You never saw the tears I cried
Or the promises I kept
Some truths are carried quietly
Deep inside a father's heart
These are the things
I never told my children
How much I loved you from the start
How every prayer I whispered to heaven
Always carried your hearts
I would have traded every dream I had
Just to keep your pain away
These are the things I never told my children
Until today
I never told you how afraid I was
The day I watched you growing up
As every step you took toward freedom
Was one step farther from my arms
And I never told you
How much I missed you
When the house grew still at night
Or how often I stood by your doorway
Just to make sure you were alright
A father has a thousand heartaches
Behind a simple smile
These are the things
I never told my children
How proud you made me through the years
How watching you become who you are
Was worth every sacrifice and tear
And when my name becomes a memory
And my chair sits empty one day
Remember these are the things I never told my children
But always wanted to say
That someday you're standing by my grave
Wishing we had one more day
Don't cry
Because I left too soon
Thank God
For all the years he gave
These are the things
I never told my children
You were the greatest gift
God gave me
Not the money, not the houses
Not anything this world could be
And when I stand before my savior
The one thing I'll be bringing is
That long after I'm gone
You'll never doubt
How much your father loved you
These are the things
I never told my children
Because I thought
I had more time
