Reuniting and It Feels So......

For many years I searched for my father.  I searched online, I sent emails, snail mail with pictures of myself to people that I thought could be my father. I even went as far as stopping complete strangers who resembled the picture I had of him. I put together a group of friends and we called every person with his last name in the white pages. One of the letters I sent was returned about two months later. Little did I know I would eventually meet my father at that same address. In 2004 I received a call from a very good friend telling me she had news about my father.  I immediately began to tremble and asked, "Is he dead?"

He held me tight And I silently sighed For the first time in years I felt safe, I felt protected I knew in that moment it was real I would never have to fear this man's touch As I have with the one before The past and the present are incomparable One is dark and ugly While the other is bright and beautiful A sudden tingle ran through my body From head to toe It felt like love Strong, safe, gentle, and bold It felt so right For the first time in my life Like completing a puzzle My body fit so perfectly in his My soul was at peace That one moment Made me see clearly That this man was made for me He's so patient Kind and understanding The Ying to my yang Have I really found the man for me? He took my breath away With only three words I was frozen for a moment Wondering why I still felt scared Again, he understood I wasn't looking when we reconnected As I recall, neither was he One year later, we're both sti...
