For My Wonderful Love

My Other Holding Hand

Having a child in my holding hand,

But my other holding hand is empty.

I lean my shoulder for her to cry on

When she gets hurt, I feel her pain,

I take it, and weigh it painfully

In my heart, however

I must not show my weakness

Because I have to be like a dad also,

So I can see her smile again

But deep down inside,

I need someone to shed my tears.

All those years being a single mother,

I can give her all my love, all my strength

Because she is my life, my world

But I can see something missing

In her life that deserves to be filled.

All those years, she knows it in her heart,

So, she stands with her guard up

Even she has an enormously heart

Waiting to share with.

Life can be full of surprises,

And unexpected when I stop hoping.

You come along not just

In my life, her life also.

You are the new chapter

To begin, and continue

Our lives to something

Wonderful and fulfilling.

You are the color with

So much love, so much more.

You have no idea

How happy I truly am

To see her smiling in

Miles from here to the sun.

I am touched deeply

When I see her putting

Her guard down, and

Opening arms

For you to hug her.

Her life is filled because of you,

She has another shoulder to cry on,

And at lastly, you shed my tears,

And take my pain away,

Remind me that I am not alone anymore.

Not just you being the color

Of our lives,

Brave that you are to take

The big part of her life

That she is been longing for.

One more thing,

Thanking you may not be enough,

But with all my heart and

Appreciation that does

For holding my hand

And filling my daughter’s

Life.

You are the best,

Happy Father’s Day.
