Zach Gilkey

When I see your face, My pain meets grace.

And when you smile wide, Love swells my chest; inside.

Your future shines within your eyes, But in the present I’ll reside.

If the moment I would leave, I’d lose the joy before me.

To see you laugh, to live, to grow Through every storm or undertow.

With every joy your small hand finds, Mine will be there in kind.

And should you ever fall, I’ll be there when you call.

When you scuff your knee or need to cry, If I’m not near, I’ll run to your side.

In morning’s light and darkest night, My love will always hold you tight.

Always your father– steady and true.
