The greatest gifts bestowed to me
Are the three little loves of my life.
While I pondered other directions
God brought to me the title of Father.
My focus has only ever been these souls
To lift when they fall and to love with my all.
When one fell off her bike, I cradled her tight
Wiping her tears and mending her spirit.
When one was hospitalized yet again
I prayed by her bedside and held her hand through the nights.
When one felt she needed to become something else
I did all I could to be there, and love and accept her just the same.
To love unconditionally is with great patience and a tender heart
Abandoning anger or any unnecessary negative action.
Above all else, I am Father to the one’s that have taught me such grace
And here I will linger for the rest of my days.
