A Father's Pain

She aborted our unborn with a heart of hate
She stole two souls and could not wait
The love of a child was waiting to be born
As the soul of a Father could only mourn

Final revelation explained the pain
For what was missing, I couldn't explain
Her darkest secret was kept from me
For forty years I did not see

The cry of my baby haunting my mind
The dreaming hurt and pain intertwined
In the dark of night till early dawn
Its echos in the day made me withdrawn

A maddening sound of a baby's cry
Is loudly heard across the ocean and sky
Even across time did not end the cry
I could only pray as I looked in the sky

It was not the sound of a baby of glee
Where are you Daddy in my time of need?
For Daddy I need you, here for me
To stop Mom's hate, for her love I need

I could hear in my dreams, Oh Daddy why?
Make them stop, you can only try
I know you love me, but please don't cry
Only Mom knows the reason why

Please tell Mommy I love her so
I feel the pain, in the heart of my soul
Daddy should know, but was never told
Your worry is over, God take my soul

Daddy I know you would raise me well
Mommy wouldn't have me or love me still
For she had dreams but not the will
To include us both in her life of thrills

Daddy, don't worry, for God will know
Your hugs and smiles will always flow
I'm sorry, Mommy, for offending you
For your smiling face I'll never see glow

God sent me to you as a gift from above
To make your lives fulfilled with love
But now I'm an angel and I will wait
To hear God's decision on your fate

As I forgive you, he will too
For all I want is your loving touch
To be with you and Daddy too
To see your glow and feel your touch
