The Need of Happiness
I see happy couples everyday
I see fathers who love to watch their children play
And as I look upon all of this
I realize in my life, what I miss
I miss loving, only to be loved back
The true feelings that fill your hearts is what I lack
I miss the dream of my children having a dad
I miss the feeling of being happy, because now all I feel is sad
I work hard everyday to support my children and me
This used to give me true happiness, but now it's not the same I see
Now I see only loneliness inside my heart and mind
I just wish my true love I would find
A man as perfect as I have dreamt
Someone who in his heart, I was always kept
Someone who would love my children as his own
Knowing they need a father, for theirs left them all alone
Alone from all the fatherly love they should've had
And even though I tried, I cannot be a mom and a dad
I've tried to be their one in all
But I know later in life they will take a hard fall
So I know they need a man to look up upon
A man who will take the place of their father since he is gone
A man who is full of love for them and for me
A man who, no matter where he is, our family is what he sees
I know I miss all that I once had
And I know that's why I am always sad
I try to happy with only my children
But anymore I feel my heart cannot mend
I need more than what my life has to offer
I need someone to come into my heart and give me more
