I'm Sorry Dear

No, we can't afford it honey

Yes, I know you deserve it;
You deserve everything wonderful.

Sweetie, I'm sorry, you'll have to wait
for my next check.

No, dear, I had to fix the car.
Maybe next month.

I will as soon as I can.
I promise.

Ssh, ssh, come here
let me hold you. Ssh, I'm sorry

I can't bear to see
Such disappointment in your eyes.

Sometimes I wish
You had a rich mommie to give you
everything.
