A father’s prayer

Oh heavenly father. Forgive me for I was wrong. Forgive me for asking how can you allow the breakup of a marriage; how can you allow the separation of a father from his kids. This is wrong. ‘Cause you didn’t do it. You are the God of Love; and not of separation. So it is up to the bad to be blamed. Forgive me for my wrong thinking. I always wanted to be a good father. I wanted to show my kids this beautiful world. I wanted to lead them and guide them on the right path. This chance has been taken away from me by the bad. I will miss holding your hands when you need it. I will miss drying your tears when you are hurt. I will miss giving you hugs 'n' kisses. I will miss teaching you right from wrong. I will miss your voices calling out for 'Papa'. I will miss being a father to you. Oh my heavenly father, please hear my endless cryings. If I may tell you just one wish, it would be this: Be there for them as their heavenly father. And I know you will. No matter what your plans are for me, be there for my kids. Protect them, guide them, lead them and help them to stay on your path. Let them make a difference on this earth, let them shine for you.
