A Good, Good Father
Silent, like the moments
Just after snow
Sighs through the still, dark night
Reflecting moon and stars
Hurrying to touch the ground
Smiling, like the break of day
When sunshine breathes
A kiss against the naked face
Whispering gentle wishes
Through the light that strokes
Tender, like a prayer
Kindly, like the psalms
Embracing the heart, the soul
With a intimacy, a vibrant
Hue of grace and music
Promising to baptize hopes
In laughter, lingering
Joy that is so beautiful
It inspires the spirit to dance
Warmly, like the color of fire
Flames risking their blaze
On the wonder of singing praise
To the Creator, the maker
Of everything there is – each tree
Each dream – each in between
Breathlessly, like the rain
Falling softly on the flowers
Stirring them to life
Preparing buds to bloom, alive
As a vibrant hue of grace
Beckoning from its place
Olive stems portraying faith
Love, like the One who brings life
To every soul, each hope,
Even the dreams listen in peace
To the One who makes us each one
Aware of His wonder, His compassion
The way He gives without expectation
The way He lives in the spirit, accepting
Everyone who comes to Him, humbly
Willing to repent and give to Him
A spirit of contrition – finding satisfaction
In the glory of His gift, His grace
The salvation that is His gift
Praising Him…
I will never forget where I’ve been
Or how HE brought me out of the darkness
Into the light of a new day, a new way
His love is like the love of a Father
Even more – He is the best Father of all
