Loving You

The best I can do
Loving you
The way I do.

Distance does not matter
Silence will not alter
Love shall not falter
Leila shall remain dearest ever after.

Never a doubt in your heart
Although miles apart
Know that I loved you from the start
Now you have stolen my heart.

Thoughts of you in the morning
And visions of you in the evening
Thoughts of our Boston meeting
Memories never ending.

This father shall keep trying
Even if the nights see me crying
To reach out to my daughter
To tell her how much I love her.

Family pictures I have none
Nither the ties nor the fun
Of being a child in the sun
Alone again, when the day is done.

Childhood woes were many
Never understood any
Times I would wander in the wilderness
Searching for answers amidst emptiness.

Happiness is knowing you are there
Safe and sound and how you fare
Wherever you go, whatever you do
My love and blessings go with you.

The best I can do
Loving you
The way I do.
