Esmerelda

We only almost had a daughter There's no regret nor sadness but wonder Of who she'd be today Esmerelda would your name And happiness is all that you'd feel today But, full of questions like Why does mom not Love you daddy? Does it mean that You're not the best there could be Well who is he to me? They share a room when they sleep And on the weekends, it's only you and me. So why does mom not love you, daddy? Esmerelda, I'm sorry to say Before you were born, I wished you away. I had a plan, and you would only stand in my way But I have made nothing I could not have made With you here and that's your mom Has chosen not to stay It's why your mom does not love your daddy It surely means I'm far from the best there could be Who is he to me? He's a root of jealousy A reminder of all I could not have offered her We only almost had a daughter
