Poem
Dad, its been so long since I’ve seen you smile but I think I know what helps, you just need to have faith and follow these four easy steps, First, understand you don’t have to do this alone second, asking for help doesn’t mean you’re not strong, third, remove your fear and cast your doubts away fourth, get on your knees, close your eyes and pray, I looked at my son who was just as sad as me, I said I appreciate the advice but that isn’t what I need, besides what in the world could I possible say, it’s been too long since I talked to God that way, He said it doesn’t matter dad you can start again today, I looked into his eyes and saw a deep sadness on his face, I knew something needed to change so I asked for God’s grace, I closed my eyes tightly and when I saw my wife’s face, the words started to flow from a long-forgotten place, Heavenly father I don’t know what to say, I’m so sad and lonely ever since she passed away, I don’t know what to do anymore or how I should proceed, so I’m going to trust in you to show me what I need, I want to let go of this sadness which has been a burden to me, and follow your guidance anywhere it leads, I need the strength and wisdom to help us carry through, but that can’t come from me so I’m calling on you, to do what only my father in heaven has the power to do, I opened my eyes and saw my son smile, and there was a happiness I hadn’t seen in a while, I pulled him in tight and began the prayer again, and I could feel a change take over as we both said, Amen.
