A Broken Dad
As I awake for a new day, tired, sleepy, not smiling.
Looking at your photos bedside, I am crying
The world is my enemy, I don’t love nor do I care
I just want you back, I just want to cry about the love we shared
I didn’t stop praying, in front of my bed I am kneeling
“God I never want to forget my daughter, for me I ask no healing
But I am asking You to provide a support structure for my wife,
I am also not present as a father, therefor please guide my son through life”
“I am a lousy husband, a broken dad,
I lost someone so dear to me, it is driving me mad!
I want my daughter back my Lord, I am pleading!
I am asking you with tears in my eyes, in prayer I am kneeling."
