Did I do enough
When I look at your sleeping face it makes me want to cry.
As I look into your face I wonder if I'm doing anything right.
I wonder if I'm doing enough to teach you and to make you laugh.
Am I showing you enough of the world or just making everything worse?
I see you run and laugh and wonder why I worried so much.
But then I see your sleeping face and blame myself for not giving you enough.
I blame myself if I can't give you the world that you deserve.
And it makes me want to cry knowing that one day I won't be able to look into your sleeping face.
And wonder if I did everything right.
