   I wish I didn't understand
   This emptiness
   I wish she was here to hold my hand
   For a moment
   I wish my son could look at me
   With his 2 year old eyes
   A question on his mind...


   It's kinda hard to understand
   But I miss her perspective
   Her female point of view
   The next time that I hold her hand
   I will tell her she's an angel
   I will tell her everyday...


   I hope that she will understand
   When I get home
   That I'll want to sleep in my son's bed
   Just for a night or two
   I hope he doesn't comprehend
   How long this has been
   But I hope that he will understand
  'Cause I want to be a great dad
   But it's hard
   From a thousand miles away...

What beautiful messages lay in this piece,
the heart of a loving husband and father
that understands the beauty of a family.  
Wonderful writing~
