Hold my hand
What do I do
It's been thirteen years now
Now he wants to be a dad
I dont know what to do
Do I continue to hold your hand
I feel this one you have to feel on your own
It's hard when I've protected you for so long
Does mommy let go of your hand and let the pieces fall
I just want to hold it longer and protect you from having to feel it all
Look at me baby girl
Help me what to do
I am here look at your hand
I'm not ready to stop mothering you

This creates many questions I don't know we if I have the right to ask. Who is he that wants to be a dad? How old is your daughter?
I admire your concerns as a moment, but so much is left a mystery, I don't know how to comment on this? 13 years? Has she been with the one who wants to be a dad for 13 years? Are they married? Perhaps you don't want to say, but you have put this here, so you must be looking for input and it has made me think, so I hope I'm not being nosey as and asking questions, I just feel I can't offer an honest opinion without more details.

I think I understand a little more, I went back and read your poem "the moment I lost you", but there is more I don't understand after reading a few others over the last few years. Perhaps too personal for a comment here.
