I Hung the Moon

I Hung the Moon

You have loved me from the beginning
You have believed in me when I didn’t
You have given me strength when I was weak
You always made me feel I was the wind in the trees
You carried me when I was sleeping
You cheered me on at my graduations
You held my child tenderly in your arms
You always made me feel I created the stars in the sky
You did these things unconditionally
You did these things wanting no repayment
You did these things even if I was wrong
You always made me feel I painted the world
I know someday you will be gone
I know someday I won’t hear your voice
I know someday I will have to face
A world without you
A world without my father
A world without the only person
That always made me feel I hung the moon
