Lost

There the old man sat
Lonely. Deep in thought
Perhaps 
His past
Despite time, still haunts

He wondered about
Those he left behind
His doubt
A cloud
Always on his mind

His girls are now grown
Do they think of him
Of what
He's become
Of how he left them

His mind remembers
Every single day
His tears
Reminders
What he threw away

Visitation day
How it torments him
He prays
For strength
Forgive him his sins
