Through The Storm

Daddy, My ex had a baby today,
she says that I’m the father.
A silent look, no advice, he’s never been there,
I don’t know why I bother.

An innocent look from a child’s eyes,
doubt becomes confusion; replaced by pride.
Pride swirled with denial; decision made,
I must be the father, she wouldn’t have lied.

Denial causes distance,
desire to be a good father brings me back.
My chance to be the father I always wanted,
my chance to get my life back on track.

I brought my son home to live with me,
you know, trying to b e a super dad.
A child is suppose to be a gift from God,
but in my heart I still feel like I’ve been had.

Denial becomes acceptance,
I should have opened my eyes to the truth
from the very start.
It’s time I dealt
with what I know to be a harsh reality.
It’s time I removed the weight
of not knowing from my heart.

Truth revealed; fate sealed,
now what role am I suppose to play.
A father without a son;
test results that can’t be undone; so I pray.

Lord, I’ve been consumed by the darkness.
Lies, deceit, and denial
have caused my world to lose its form.
Lord please grant me strength
and guide me through the storm.

You don't need a "hug", you need a "HUG!!!"

Sending prayers for a happy outcome for all involved.

Also sending a rainbow of healing lights.

Peace, Love & Eternal Light,
Earth Angel
