stolen love

nine years past you left me
lone miracle of mine
cruel fate took my life away
when you were but age nine
too far west you traveled
swept up by your mother
she burnt her bridges here
ran off to wed another
my crest suddenly fallen
I became a broken man
knocked over with a feather
through my memories I ran
our last time together
all our tears did flow
our hearts had sunk in abyss
you didn't want to go
you cried for your daddy
as your daddy cried for you
we tried to cling together
as we feared our lives were through
without you my life tumbled
for all my strength was gone
without my darling baby
no reason to go on
through years the pain has lingered
never once was there relief
I found I must embrace it
for our lives to have belief
and now you are a woman
eighteen, brave and strong
coming back to live with me
again we'll share our song
so fathers, hold your children
every chance you get
for life is surely fleeting
may you have one less regret

few things r as powerful as the love parents have for their children, in the case of the girl of this poem she is lucky shes got a great father that loves her, and there r so many sons and daughters wishing they had the love from their parents less fortunate than this girl for sure.
ur poems r great hun
R- What touching words straight from your heart. Oh the day of delight when she finally will arrive back into your arms!!! Beautiful. If only I had a father that could or would have loved me so deeply. She's a very fortunate young lady to have such a loving father. Your time has come!

This poem has such deeply personal insight. My heart cries out for those men who have suffered this sad scenario. I feel so blessed that I have not...
I`ve been there done that,probably 8X,-Only it was the opposite.My ex husband,taking my children (4 of them) from me,so many times & used them in a horrible way,just to force me to go back to him.When I met someone that would have solved the whole situation,I could have gone with him,but no,I went back,& nothing ever changed.It was fate,that he got shot in a triple murder.(you know-live by the sword,die by the sword).My heart would have felt for you,& all seems well,I know you can be extremly thankful...
