Ashlynn My Guiding Light

Ashlynn, my precious girl of ten, A bond we shared, it was heaven then. But troubles came, and I lost my way, Our love grew dim, skies turned to gray. Addiction's grip held me so tight, And I couldn't see through the darkest night. My mistakes hurt you, caused you pain, My heart broke too, in the pouring rain. I'm sorry, my love, for the tears I caused, For the moments missed, opportunities lost. But I want you to know, with all my might, I'm fighting to make things right. I'm on a journey to mend my soul, To heal the wounds and be in control. For you, my daughter, I'll strive each day, To find my strength, to find my way. Though you're angry now, I understand, Your heart needs time to trust my hand. But I promise, Ashlynn, I won't give in, To rebuild our love, my soul shall begin. I'll show you with actions, not just with words, A changed man, with a heart that hurts. For you, I'll be brave, I'll persevere, To bring back the joy and wipe every tear. In laughter and love, side by side, With you, Ashlynn, my heart will reside. I'll cherish the moments, big and small, And be the dad who'll never let you fall. So, my darling girl, don't lose faith in me, I'll be the dad you want me
