My Darkest Hour

It’s now been a few years
Since all the drama and the tears
I hated my life, wanted it to end
I almost went around the bend
I still remember the knife in my hand
Sharp and cold, a means to an end
I would’ve died that night I know
Except you found me, you stopped the flow
You stayed with me that day,
Knelt by my side to pray
I’ve now conquered my fears
I owe it all to you, my dear
You gave me love to devour
You saved me in my darkest hour

My Dad

I never really knew my dad
When I think about it now, it makes me sad
I never had someone to teach me certain things
Like how to meet girls, or go hunting
I blamed myself when I was young
Thinking all the time, I was a bad son
It’s only now I’m starting to realize
I wasn’t a son in his eyes
It wasn’t my fault, I know that now
He didn’t love me then, and still doesn’t now
So it’s time to forget,
The past I regret
I have a son of my own today
I tell him I love him, each and every day

The Game

I remember when I was young
Friday nights were so much fun
Since my dad first took me to the game
Friday nights were never the same
All the excitement and the cheer
And when in overtime, the fear
How the crowd went wild when a game was won
During my childhood, it was so much fun
Now I'm grown up, my dad is gone
I still think of him every time the game is on
How he raised me as his son
I admire him for what he's done
Now my own son is standing here
It's like I'm looking in a mirror
