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
