A Fathers Wish

A Father's Wish
I don't think I have ever really told you just how much I think of you, and love you. I probably think about you as much as my heart beats in a day.

When I walk down the road I look down and wish this road would take me to you so I can see you one more time.

I look ahead and I just see nothing that really matters to me.

I begin to lose my mind wondering if there was things I could have done better, should have been there more for you when you needed.

Then I look to the flowers and I remember your smile when I would be feeling down.

In my eyes your smile is worth all the diamonds in the world.

Again I look ahead and I see times when I came home, and you had the look of trouble in your eyes, and I would know.

I would know, you will forever be in my heart no matter what.

I smell the air, and I smile, as I can smell you right next to me as I walk down this road.

I remember the days you would kiss me good night,

I would hope to be that armored knight that would forever guard you at night.

But I did not want to think of the day you would be miles down the road through North Dakota, thinking of me.

I did not see the water lined with two cities of thousands.

I look; I look, and sometimes do not see anything,
I hear; I hear and sometimes I do not hear anything
I feel; I feel and sometimes I do not feel anything

And there are days I feel you in my eyes, in my ears, and all around me

I just want to say, Go Girl, show em what you got

You'll always be my star blitzing through the sky with no beginning and no end.

I know in my heart no matter where you are

There will be not one day I regret your love, and my love for you.

When I put one foot in front of the other on the road

Whenever you need I'll always help carry the load

Sometimes I think these words

Will sail to the sky by the birds

Telling you how much you mean to me

And maybe you will also see

The tear in my eyes will go to waste not

Your love is all I have ever sought

When my eyes will open no more

My hope is you will see my love for you in a lore

With no equation to keep the score

I will always love you more
