Notes About The Poem

A Fathers Immortality

Upon waking up this day, a single tear
Father your eternal immortality 
Still proves wise and gracious
I haven’t been misled by popular opinion
Which should be taken with a grain of salt
You showed me how to expose the counterfeits 
who foster misperceptions,
Which have shaped our faith
How to think with an open mind, heart, and soul
Father, your every word was a rare gift
A worth guide__
A teardrop of glad remembrance and a
Prayer for your soul

Speaks Volumes June 17, 2023 at 6:59 PM Just beautiful. The remembered teachings of a Father are priceless. Your heartfelt poem, an amazing tribute to your father who taught you so many invaluable lessons in order to make you the wonderrful woman you are today, Anaya. A very special poem. I Am Anaya June 17, 2023 at 7:16 PM awe, thank you my sweet friend, I really appreciate that.

I wanted to try type form Karielle, I saw that you are amazing with that form, and now a contest has arrived, Karielle form! Hope you have a happy Fathers Day S.V.!
