Reunion
Hungrily his arms engulf
her giggling young body
she laughs and cries
and shouts hurray!
While silently he prays
He prays that she may
grow up strong.
and hopefully forget
the years that they spent
torn apart
the years he now regrets
He prays that she’ll be happy
that she’ll never have to hear
mom and daddy fighting
or be surrounded with unknown fear
but for now he ends his prayer
And pulls her closer to his heart
where she constantly resides
Then thanks the lord, just one last time
for being by her side.
