"Teach Me to Love Again"

I wake the fear
within my mind
lonely in a dream
praying out loud

to call her home
my Maggie Rose,
to forget my lies
when she left me

lying there hoping
crying in my heart
that she may return
for us to be a family,

with the children
to remember me
a father to kiss
their fears away

to teach me
to love again,
in Godly ways
for his mercy

to heal me
in forgiveness
joined together
to live in faith.

I wake afraid
so confused
to see them,
Maggie smiling;

with our children
laughing loudly!
"Mommy and Daddy
we love you dearly."
