He accepted me just as I was,
A woman aged with time,
A body showing all the evidence
Of the wear and tear of many years,
But none the less,
He accepted me just as I was,
Just like you Father.
He always had an ear for my cares.
I could go to him with anything
That was on my mind.
Just like you Father.
He encouraged me when I thought,
I could go no further.
Helped me to hope again, to reach for
Stars beyond my sphere of gravity,
To stretch beyond my wildest imagination,
Just like you Father.
I felt loved.
I felt secure.
He was kind and patient,
Gentle of heart, protective,
Wise, seeing far and wide
Just like You Father.
I must confess.
There were times
I made him larger than you.
Oh, please, forgive me Father.
And then at decision time,
I pressed him for an answer.
Would he dig up the tiny seed of love,
That he had carefully planted in my heart?
Would he pull it out by its tender root and crush it?
Just so he could hold on dearly,
To his Bachelor Members only card.
Would he let his sewn seed die?
Or just like you did for your bride Father,
Would he die to himself and to his life?
Just to take me for his bride, his wife.
Well now I know.
He wasn’t really like you at all Father,
Because, he said no.
