"Still With You My two little hearts"
I didn’t walk away, my loves —
I was torn from where I stood.
Not by choice, not by will,
But by rules that misunderstood.

Two hearts I held in each strong hand,
Two stars that lit my skies.
Now I trace your names in silence,
With tears the court denies.

They say time must create the space,
That silence somehow heals,
But they don’t hear my midnight thoughts
Or know how deep love feels.

Your pictures rest beside my bed,
Your laughter lives in me.
Though miles may blur the everyday,
In soul, I’ll always be.

I see your faces in the dawn,
I whisper to the moon,
“I’ll hold them close again one day —
Not ‘if,’ my loves, but ‘soon.’”

Be brave, my girls — stay kind and strong,
When life feels cold or wide.
Know I am your unshaken rock,
Just waiting on the side.

Though papers said I had to leave,
My love was never gone.
You're written deep inside my breath,
My dusk, my light, my dawn.

So laugh aloud, and chase your dreams,
Let nothing steal your grace —
For even when I’m far away,
I'm never not in place.
A father is a natural protector.
