Leading Role

We fell in love but could not see how roles for us would change. Until a child was born to us, and the “us” was rearranged. In came a little child and my role became “producer.” With so much more to do, things just are not like they used to. I lost the role of leading man, I am center stage no more. The time and much attention, is on the baby she adores. It is hard to fight the feelings that accompany the change. I’m a father now, a server…what we had seems so estranged. I truly love our little girl and the time and care she gets, Yet I truly miss the times alone and the nights of tenderness. I love to hear her laugh and see her grow so tall, Yet I miss the dates and closeness that was ours throughout it all. I feel blessed yet I regret to lose the place I used to hold. Blessed to have my family, yet I miss my leading role. Please remind me you still love me, tell me I’m your leading man. Let me know that I still mean as much as when we first began. I know this sounds so selfish, egocentric, full of “me” But I think you too remember just how close we used to be. There is a way to draw us closer; we must fight for time to share Because together we are stronger than what only one can bear. Lord, give me strength and servanthood, to live my role again! I self-pity I had left the stage, Lord bring me back to when… I courted her and cherished her; when romance drew a spark And passion burned our hearts anew to love like from the start. Give us both a fresh renewal of the love that lives within And help us to remember, we are “one” to live for Him. I feel that old rekindling of what drew us both together, It was time together, just for us; always and forever.
