My Children
The tears roll down upon my face
as I find myself lost in
time and space.
Why is it I feel so
out of place and such a waste?
Where is it I belong?
Have I been searching
for it long?
I hear the pitter patter
of their feet.
I listen to them breath
as they sleep.
I hold them close
without a fear
these little ones
I hold so dear.
Through all the storms
that come our way
I always want to stay.
Close to them
as close as I can get.
I want to hold each one
within my arms
and protect them
from this world so wrong.
I wonder sometime
what my life would be
if I had not done the things
that brought them to me.
Then I realize without
a doubt what life
would be without
anyone of them.
And I know within my mind
and heart that my life
could never be complete
without each and everyone
of them as a part.
I love all of you,
Dad
