Everything is changing
We had a fantastic weekend,
the family is all together.
We're having some great times,
as everyone is smiling and laughing.
I look around at everyone,
seeing how we are enjoying each other.
I look at my little one,
she knows she is very much loved.
She looks at me and smiles,
I try to stay strong as I smile back.
So many things are going through my mind,
I wished this weekend wouldn't end.
Everyone is having such a great time,
not thinking about about things that are coming.
I step outside myself to see all around,
because next weekend...everything changes.
Next weekend the family will be around,
my little one is safe and secure.
She will be surrounded by loved ones,
as it is my time to leave.
The journey is set,
our time apart will not be forever.
I look into her eyes,
How I will miss her so much.
She is my daughter,
and my best friend.
My little one who is always there,
I have to leave behind.
I travel a far,
for work and to provide.
Such a far more secure future,
To give her all she deserves.
Separation is never easy,
it is never fun.
It is my turn to answer,
my call to duty.
I told her that when she misses me,
to look inside.
To look in her mind,
especially in her heart.
To close her eyes,
and to think of me.
No matter where I am,
I will always be right there with her.
