Im Your Daddy My Angel

I am your Daddy my Angel, I’ll always love and care for you, you were born of me, always true. Your innocence breaks my heart, you ask, do I miss you, while apart. No uttered words can explain, my deep heartfelt pain, I sorely do my Angel. The limited time we get to spend, temporary rules, I cannot bend, This painful hurt I hide, when you are by my side. Your child love and laughter, gives me strength long after, you are driven away by Mom to stay, long nights between visits, awake I lay, thinking, more time we will have one day. You are 6 almost 7 now and young still, for me to explain my painful hill, I’m not alone in my struggle, thoughts of you when we snuggle. The times together we have and had, the future soon no more sad. Soon to, understand in your youth. but forgive them for their untruth, New memories, we must look ahead, not back as my heavy feet tread. to the many years to come, time is short and much to overcome. Only joy and happiness, together forever will be bliss. I Love you my Angel.

No need to be sorry - I have struggled for 3 years now coming November - My poetry is my release and I will inevitably have proper 50/50 access some day hopefully soon. And thank you for your thoughts and expression of feelings. Regards, Mark

I sit with tears in my eyes reading this heartfelt poem Mark, I am sure there are many parents, especially men, who can relate to this in their own lives when they have limited access to their precious children. :-( Hugs Jan xx7
