Father's Love

Oh little one

You could not know

The depth of love

Nor lack of spite

Loss to be endured

So much power

You can hold

And you do not know

You could not know

Sacrificial love

So great

So deep

Resounding

Like an echo

With every little giggle

And every tiny step

As you run towards

The man who offers you

Great arms of love

And true protection

And heart of pure gold

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a dedication to a very dear friend of mine, who's children are his life.
