Dad

These hands that now are grown Once you held between your own So tiny they were, remember when We walked together, that was then So many years since then have passed With you I thought those days would last Yet so uncertain so afraid Not knowing there would come a day Away from you my heart would stray For now these tiny hands are grown and still you hold them in your own Now as we walk together again Your more than my father but my very best friend through the years, you’ve guided my way though often I found, a way to stray Your love so strong, for me was such Never had I hoped, to feel that much but anothers love has captured my heart and joined here together, a new life we shall start So today as you look into my eyes My only hope is you’ll realize Not only these hands will you give away but your little girl on this special day © Dorothy Carr
