In the darkest time of my life, a ray of hope and sunshine,
A cliché come alive, one out, one in,
Failure before in love, success anew in darkened sails,
Two lines viewed, the tears poured,
No matter what, dream, longing, life just became probable.
I still remember that call, irrespective of the hurt gone before,
Finally you answered, 'Our little girl is here!'
I cried walking up the hall, friends, cons awaiting,
I sat among silent tension, 'I just became a dad!'
From now, forever, life, love, child was real.
The clouds assembled above, the experts did circle,
A choice on nevermet, I ached over for months,
A few photos all I had, your smile warming my life caged heart,
I must be unselfish, I am your dad after all,
Alone, I sighed, you safe, you loved, me broken hearted again.
And so the battle raged, I get her want to be,
But I know her best, after all it took her too for you,
Professionals agreed with me, your and her absence notable
The turmoil brought nooses, but too your thriving,
Done so it is, never met, seen, held or heard, life all else you're gone.
So each year now they write, tell me how you're taking flight,
I respond melancholy, with the only hope I have,
The hope one day we will meet, even once to say 'hi',
Your growth in words on embrace, I made the right decision,
I hope you'll understand your adoption, right for you,
I hope you'll be open, to hearing truth above all,
I hope you're happy and loved, you have the best of us,
Ultimately princess, from behind the wall and bars, you are my only hope!
