Daddy

I wanted someone to hold me while I was crying

A voice to whisper I love you child

I wanted to hold the hand f the 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 will calm me

Daddy, its been so long since I let you hold me

My broken heart pieced back together within your love

For a long time, stumbling through the darkness

Not knowing where I was going, but I wanted to look in 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 else 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 your face filled with mercy
