Dad.....

I was an infant,
and there was this pair of hands that held me
there was this pair of hands kept me safe
there was this pair of hands rocked my cradle
there was this pair of hands fed me when I was hungry
there was this pair of hands that stroked my back when I was falling asleep....

I became a boy,
and there was this pair of hands that held me when I walked to school
there was this pair of hands punished me when I erred
there was this pair of hands that stroked my forehead when I get home tired
there was this pair of hands that lifted me up when I fell down....

I become a man,
and there was this pair of hands that wrapped around my shoulder for support
there was this pair of hands that held me firm when I fell off the ladder
there was this pair of hands that held my children in gentle embrace
there was this pair of hands that stretched out to me when he was gasping for breath.....

I miss the pair of hands that made me who I am.....I miss you daddy!!!
