Father

Oh wonderful Father!
How grateful I am for you...

I too have found in my eyes
The tears you now cry

I didn't teach you those tears
Nor you, I

It confirms that we are of one spirit
That part of me I have discovered
Is real and valid

Because there are you,
Weeping too.

Oh dear man
Broken and crying

If only you knew how much that means,
If only you knew how much I love you.

Dear father.
