Excuse Me Dad

Excuse me Dad, I have an urgent question. But first let me acknowledge that my blood brother is now my brother in Christ Recap The brother who had ta-toed his body with cigar burns The one who ripped his chest with a dagger He spent three months in rehab Yeap, that one He survived the physical death and the actual death Saved twice Yesterday as I sat there and watched him talk about his journey with gratitude ....It all felt like a dream A very long dream that began four month ago I remember crying, escaping, believing, not believing, expectation test But one thing that remained afloat/contact The life jacket said Jesus @ work. Dad, here is the question. Do you remember Micah? His mother cursed him and tried to reverse it by offering You silver Then came along a Levite The man predicted it will be well with him .. Dad, I did read the other chapter you know, It does not end well with him It does not sit well with my mind That I could reckon with a man who raised an image against You and said it shall be well with him. I think it is very wrong to think You will come anywhere near with an idol in between The levite and the coins and the ephod were snatched away by the tribe of Dan. I think after all it went well with his soul But not as he predicted. But Dad, What do you think? of Micah and Wonder and the House of Membley

A wonderful poem that makes the reader think. I seldom use "Dad" in this way, and yet, it makes every kind of sense.
