HIVE Openmic #75|Visiting Hours - Ed Sheeran

It is often said that to be a man is different from being a Father.
Being a Father is a responsibility owed.
My Father typified that while he was alive and made a mark in my life by showing me what it takes to be both a responsible man and a Father someday. Its been 5 years now since he left us.

When I saw the topic for the Hive openmic #75 to be Dignified maturity, aka Worthy Maturity I saw myself to have matured much and achieved much too. I wish he were here to see it. But I m glad he knows better now.

Visiting hours by Ed Sheeran is a very emotional song he did for a friend and reliance who passed on, but yet he has to move on with life. It may appeal to you also if you have someone you loved who passed on but yet you had to forge ahead and be the better person that friend always wanted you to be. This is what I believe to be dignified or worthy maturity.

Enjoy it.

Visiting Hours by Ed Sheeran

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up
and bring the news
That she's gettin' older
and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me
I got them all from you

Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?
The little ones will grow, and I'll still drink your favorite wine
And soon they're goin' to close, but I'll see you another day
So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just swing by
and ask your advice
What would you do in my situation?
I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them
What would you do?
'Cause you always
do what's right

Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?
I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure
You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"
So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
And I would ask them
if I could take you home
But I know what they'd say,
that it's for the best
So I will live life the way you taught me
And make it on my own

I will close the door, but I will open up my heart
And everyone I love will know exactly who you are
'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again
So much has changed since you've been away
