BEYOND CRUSH
This a poem for our Dads with "collaborative verses" from my students who wrote poems for their DADS since Father's Day in our country is on June 16, 2024.
Daddy dearest, you're my first ever loving human fortress
always a hero, affirming my being as God's gift
directing, driving me toward victory...
Dad, in storms and trials you're my cover
you keep me in your arms, making me feel better
all you want for me is to do well and spiritually prosper.
You help me everyday
teaching me to walk God's way
to enjoy in the ministry, as in His will, I stay. (Daniel)
Dad, you are my security from harm
along your sweetness and firmness
serving as my shield
while shouldering responsibilities
midst life's challenges. (Anthony)
Dad, you're a refuge from calamities
providing our home a place of protection
with your kindness, compassion, and wisdom
enabling me to face obstacles with steadfast courage. (Jared)
Dad, your love and faith assure me
with calm joy as well as constant peace
filling up my soul with warm sunshine...
your instilled enabling makes me handle
whatever comes my way. (Enzo)
Papa, in your prayer's fervency
your love abounds
guiding me toward God's light...
thankful I am for your help
so I can write my own story
surely incomplete without your presence. (Dorothy)
Papa, grateful I am for the strength of your love
a reminder that I'm never truly alone
indeed, with your care and nurture
I find the courage to face the unknown. (Keilah)
