Oh Father, my fatherClose your eyes and feel me near
keep me inside your heart
let me live in your soul
you see through tears
the things we will never do
running across the fields of my youth
games never played
but it is not gone
those dreams you hold so close
for I live in every child you see
little ones standing alone......lost
or laughing in a playground
swinging so high
touching the tree tops
that is I
wanting just to love
feel my happiness in the song of a bird
see my sorrow in mother
hold her close forever
feeling your strength
for there will be one to come behind me
whether through God's grace or
from a different calling
a child chosenthrough his hand.
For in darkness, a light will appear
even if it is just the dawn
signaling a new beginning
as you gather my mother to your heart
release your tears
let the healing begin
and discover that I am here
in your dreams
in your tomorrows
Every rainbow is the path home
and if you should stumble
I am the wings that shall lift you
Love, your child
Happy Father's day Babe. You are a great Father!!! I love you!

It's such a unique and hard situation to be in, to only get a glimpse of fatherhood/motherhood. Happy Father's Day to Mark!!!
that's the most precious picture I've ever seen... and a beautiful poem!
That poem is beautiful. Did you write that? This father's day is difficult for all of the daddy's that should have been holding their babies today. Happy father's day to your husband!
That picture is so precious and what a sweet poem.
