No Title - But It's Really About Her

I've watched the streets from open window panes
and on cold steps
until the day turned into the
evening.
My eyes so filled with rain
that I could not see

wondering "why you never come for me?"

I've hit homeruns with the
bases loaded
sacked quarterbacks so hard the
crowd errupted!
But when I looked into the stands

You were never one of the cheering fans.

When I could have lost my life
on that hot August night
laid up in the hospital bed
...so scared
you didn't come to hold my hand and show you cared

but you phoned once to call me "dumb" and then went back on the run.

You were blessed with other sons
besides us two
and all four of us can say
we never learned anything from you.

From time to time I ask God "what did we ever do?"

Tonight I'm not feeling right
my glass over flows
with the tears of all those
empty years.

May the Lord grant me grace to fill a hearts empty space.

It's in staring at my beautiful daughter
that I pray for the strength to try a whole lot harder
and do the things you refused.
May she never have doubts
and come to understand...

That she will always be a part of God's wonderful plans.
