From the perspective of a man who realised things too late~

When I close my eyes, all I can see
is a picture of us together,
with a house, and a garden, and a swing,
white clouds and clear weather.

Our kids playing in the backyard,
and us sipping a cup of tea,
I think, perhaps, it could've been true
but it isn't, you see.

I wish I could've been a better husband,
a better father which they'd need. ...
