My daughters broken heart

Broken-hearted again

For me would be in vain

But for my little girl

Her daddy was her world

How can a father leave

It’s hard for me to conceive

Not even say goodbye

I can only standby

And watch her tears stream down

From her big eyes of brown

Her bleeding heart poured out

Through her brown eyes spout

I set my pain aside

My broken heart I’ll hide

And take the time to heal

As before my girl I kneel

And let her hug and hold

As I lovingly enfold

Her precious body in my arms

Wishing to protect her heart from harm

From harm, hurt and pain

I wish my arms could constrain

But for now I hold her tight

As her daddy silently takes flight
