you look so lost to me
tears swell up in your eyes
you lost your baby in your arms
daddy, she said, don't you cry
you never did until we met
my child awoke your dead
the laughter, love and pushing swings
the memories in your heart and head
we all accepted you with love
we all care and respect you
i know there's more then comes to show
no one else would expect to
you are the captain, will always be
our relationship goes deep, it's funny
i hope my children, our care and love
will keep your life this sunny
for one person you've lived many lives
fought wars, lost love and hope
by offering to share all i have
together we will cope
no longer alone, no need to roam
your friendship tells me
once again you're home.
