NEVER ACCEPT NEVER FEEL

I listened tonight to the pain, the heartache,

the devastation of a father not being able to be around his child.



I heard him say he didn’t even feel like a parent anymore.

Like there was a hole missing in his heart.



If he would’ve been given the opportunity that you have to be there,

To be accepted as a father, a supporting parent.  He would give anything.



Yet you knowing you’re about to be a father are doubting, although in your heart you feel it. You never accept the responsibility nor feel the unconditional love this child has for you.



I got off the phone and my heart broke as I saw you possibly years from now. Saying the exact same thing as your child and child’s mother are away from you.



I pray it will never get to that point where you can never be apart of your child’s life.



People say grounded for eighteen years.  I say blessed beyond measure.  Hoped against hope. Prayer answered. Yet you choose to never accept, never feel.
