There’s a Father shaped hole
In all of our hearts
Some have been filled
-Daddies doing their part
Time and attention
To each little princess
Firm in discipline
But generous with kisses
Yet not all have been blessed
With that affirmation
Which starts out their life
In the right direction
They search and they search
Sure they can fill
That deep and vast void
With a new kind of thrill
Met with surprise
Disappointment and grief
The hole only widens
Is there no relief?
Then one day they meet
The ultimate dad
He can’t disappoint
He’s the best love they’ve had
But scars still remain
Paths have been chosen
Choices were made
Hopes have been broken
While they searched for the love
Of the one who meant most
The first man in their lives
Designed to be close
His role is so needed
He can’t be replaced
By any earthy relationship
It can’t fill that space
How blessed we are
When it’s our God that we see
As our irreplaceable Father
The one whom we need
He’ll never leave
He can not lie
His love knows no bounds
He counts each tear and each sigh
He knows we’re but dust
He created our being
He won’t turn away
When to our humanness we cling
But he gently leads
He speaks to our hearts
His yoke is easy
Sweet grace he imparts
Our longing lover
The sweetest friend
The ultimate father
His love never ends
