The Father’s Love through a Mother’s Hands

I can truly imagine how this holiday feels for you

Not having that father around to celebrate today

My imaginations have walked a mile in your shoes

Having a childhood so fatherless also affected my Father’s Days

 

Although, a man was physically around…but not

I thought he successfully caused more harm than good

If I’d had a choice all the way back then

I would have erased the day I met him, If I could

 

Now, actually having grown from the experience

I’ve healed from the pains and regrets of the old days

Realizing he didn’t love himself enough to love me

The reason he could and would not change his abhorrent ways

 

I will always choose to dedicate my life and heart to you

Although your father chooses not to be in your life today

I can only proclaim these words to you and declare them as true

Because I dedicated my life to my real Father forever and always

 

He has taken me in and made His child brand new

He has shown a love unfathomable beyond the number of the sands

You may not understand how He has also adopted you into His arms

For now, you will know a portion of the Father’s love through a mother’s hands

 

Then…you will understand

Dedicated to my beautiful daughters Brianna and Linda. I will love you as long as God gives me breath and beyond. However, His love for you is even greater.

Happy Father’s Day to the ones that truly are fathers and even the mothers that are also fathers.
