Poem
God there are so many things you have taught me Sometimes you let me know right away Other times I just have to find out later But time after time you always have a lesson plan Like the time when you asked me to give the money I had To that poor person who was digging the trash can for things You were teaching me obedience to see whether I obeyed you That was all the money I had at that time –but I obeyed Like the time when I had to buy something for someone And you taught me that if I want the best I also need to give the best What about the time when I was turning up my nose at the thought of wearing somebody’s clothes? You had me wearing only clothes from Goodwill after that For years Until I finally no longer have the disgust You taught me through little things Through the big things Of how I can rely on you God you walked me through those life’s challenges With my house and with things in general Looking back I don’t know how I did it But I did Because of you So now Father I give you a head down To give you obeisance To thank you for carrying me For being there when I needed you For taking the time to listen to my ranting To my being angry at you And see beyond the outbursts To the person I am supposed to be Oh Cherished One You are indeed a great Father That no one can equal Your love envelopes us all Consuming us Until we become like you Oh Magnificent One Have your way Teach us Carry out your lesson plans For we need to learn from You You are the best Lord Oh Incredible One Only You can do What You set out to do Accomplish things in us Help us to be the best person we can be In you Happy Father’s Day Lord Love you
