I wanted someone to hold me while I was crying
A voice to whisper I love you child
I wanted to hold the hand of a father
My little hands tried to grab your finger
Laying on your lap, looking into your eyes
Trying to fall asleep, but my mind wouldn’t let me
I was tired but I knew your peace would calm me
Daddy, its been so long since I let you hold me
my broken heart pieced back together with in your love
For a long time, stumbling through the darkness
not knowing where I was going, but I wanted to look into your eyes
I couldn’t see the hand that held me, or the voice that was telling me
you’re my child, I love you
I didn’t want to let you know I was crying
I wanted to hide from you the reason that I was hurting
As I looked into your eyes I realized you knew the answers
I saw an understanding that spoke to my heart
A tear that told me you knew why I was hurting
A simple drop of water, falling to the ground
you held me when no one was around
Tears of compassion you soaked me with your grace
It is then I realized what it meant to be loved and long for your embrace
I looked up and I saw is your face filled with mercy.
