Missing You

As time goes by, I’ve missed so much,

your loving hugs and gentle touch.

As your bodies grow too fast to see,

I hope you’ll both remember me.

 

A few hours here, a few days there,

some stolen time to show I care.

Small locks of hair, I’ve kept for years,

to have you close, would halve my tears.

 

I’m far away, I’m in a mess,

so in my prayers your heads I bless.

As God protects you safe and sound,

I’m feeling strong, new faith I’ve found.

 

For every joy there is a cost,

for every gain there’s something lost.

For every grief there must be hope,

It’s natures way to help me cope.

 

I can’t explain my long term goals,

but I’d like to help your mortal souls.

For if you know how much I feel,

I’m sure my heart will start to heal.

 

So remember girls how much I care,

your life of joy please let me share.

And if your ever feeling sad,

just ring me up I wont be mad !

 

I’ll love you every day I live,

I’ll give you all I have to give.

I’ll never lose my faith in you,

I’m there in everything you do.

 

As I say goodbye, and let you go,

my pain and pleasure mix and flow.

As I drive away, you wave at me,

but my broken heart you cannot see.

 

Please love this man, who loves you so,

please see a friend and not a foe.

Two little girls are all I had,

I’m so very proud you call me ‘Dad’.
