A Far Away Hug
A FARAWAY HUG
Though my eyes will not be there
To see how you touch our baby
I’m sure you whisper to him my name
This is your father’s faraway hug
Though my ears will not be there
To hear his first cry in the morning
I’m sure you whisper to him my name
This is your father’s faraway hug
Though you won’t hear my voice
To say how happy I am to have you both
I’m sure you whisper to him my name
This is your father’s faraway hug
Though my hands will not be there
To feel and touch your hands
I’m sure you whisper to him my name
This is your father’s faraway hug
Though I can’t see you now
In my mind, you are perfectly pictured
That I was holding both you and your mother
With feet to take you where you’d go
With eyes to see you enjoying the sunset’s glow
With ears to hear your laughter
With arms to comfort you both
And will never be a faraway hug.
