To Plant a Planet

O daddy! my daddy! your life is or' and I'm an orphan once more The prize you sought is won but my grief overflows onto the floor You were just to go for surgery then come back to me surely sore Not dead_gone unbelief flows over me for love on me you pour O daddy! my daddy! you adopted me, introduced me to God's love Worked long hours to provide for my needs doing things for others Studied God's word so that you could teach Biblical truths about Dove Visited the sick, helped those down, expressed forgiveness of Brothers O daddy! my daddy! you have won the great prize and at God's side You are helping God with what needs to be done, as one of his sons What you might be doing in your service up there with Jesus our Guide He might have given you your own planet to plant, get ready for loveones

Dear Sara: Beautiful and sad poem. This poem reminds me (in a way) of Sylvia Plath's poem Daddy, except that you have a positive attitude towards your Dad and she did not. Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my poem. Peace: Sheol
