Poem
Once, there was a father Who loved his children completely Nothing fractured or missing Withholding nothing for the greedy Everything flowed to and from Without interruption or wrinkle Til a child pulled back Creating a hold that crinkled ....into time For the first time, a new word appeared MINE, it is alllllll MINE Ownership grew quickly Separating LOVE from mankind Oh, how the father wailed and mourned But he always had a plan He took out his heart from self And spoke it into WOman ...as a seed The gift met up with faith And created a child, Love without fear Death chasing all involved Trying to make LOVE disappear He fought all the fears that swirled, Around the lies, whispered by the snake That "father" will always give But he will also take, take, take ....whatever HE wants, whenever HE wants As the LOVE heart walked the road That brought him to the giving tree The crowd gathered 'round, yelling, "LOVE will NEVER have a home....here!" He kept nothing for self As water and blood poured from His side Speaking, to the children, truth... The snake lied ...to enthrone your fears ................silence.............darkness .................................deep shaking That took humanity to the end of days Where we heard the message loud and clear We must engage the LOVE inside To fight and conquer all our fears That Daddy God is selfish and unkind Taking and making as He pleases Our Daddy God moves heaven and earth To pour our gifts that releases ....chains, shackles, and all binding devices We are free to LOVE all who lack Holding nothing for self, yielding back The liquid LOVE flowing upwards to Daddy God Never alone or forsaken on any road we choose to trod Shall we miscarry our baby With the belief that LOVE has spent its best And He has no original LOVE Only what is left ....over There is no such thing as leftover love With perfect love that casts out fear He is always pouring out on us Trying to draw near ...for a hug ......this father, is not a thug ............He is the God, whose name is LOVE Written by Trudy Schrader on 06-26-2019 note: I don't like this poem, just like I don't like the feeling of leftover love.
