Will I be the Mother in this Song?

There is a song by Luther Vandross titled Dance With My Father.  It's one of my favorites because it speaks of not only a child's love for a parent, but also the love between a husband and wife.  A love that survives death. 

I understand that kind of love, it's what keeps my mother in my thoughts every day.  It's the kind of love that keeps my ex in my thoughts.  My love for him survived the death of our marriage.  That love will no longer propel me back to him, but it is a love that cares for him, his welfare, his heart.

As I continue to perform in Act I, I continue to wonder if I will ever feel that deep, abiding love for a man again?  Will Act II have my heart open to that type of love?  Or will I be the mother in this song?
