Dads New Groove

I heard my Dad singing and playing the piano a few rooms away.
Ripples of wonder poured over me and the Holy Spirit filled all the empty space in my life that day.
A new assurance, a powerful dominance vibrating and emanating 
from my Dad's mouth.
A power of divinity, the sound of many waters that had all dominions of demons running south.

In his voice, I could tell Dad had a new groove.
He possessed an unshakable faith that no one could move.
He sang as though Angels were in command of his voice.
I hear people speak to Dad saying have a good day.
My Fathers reply would always be, I have no choice.

A wonderful poem Wayne. The child that can look up to his parent with pride ad admiration is indeed blessed. Your poem was inspiring.
