A PRAYER FOR BILLY I see a blue sky over my head Fluffy white clouds floating across it And in my mind, I hear a little boy's voice asking, "Daddy, can you see the clown?" As tears well, and my heart gets so full with missing you, I wonder where you are at this moment, And if you can see the same sky I do. I know the pain in my heart Matches the pain in yours. But I have the advantage of knowing Just how much I love you, While you are left with an empty space Where I used to be. And I can't fill that void for you Because I couldn't stay there any longer And I couldn't bring you with me. As much as I value my new found freedom The price is still so high. I whisper a prayer, and send it with the wind, Hoping it touches your soul. "Your father loves you Bill" And I pray we find peace.
