Father
FATHER
Father, how do I live when there is so much to give.
If I take away a grain, I leave a little pain.
If I try to save a fly, there is something else to die
I may hunger for more and then I close my door
I really don’t know what to say, when I do, I walk away
I have no path that runs for sure, all I ask is to endure.
The river of life is only bringing a tide of strife.
The Sun so bright quickly burns and withers until the night.
Then the fog rest in, blocking the view from within
I pray out loud and listen to silence realize it’s me on that fence
This way or that, it’s about a cat, finer than fine.
Let it fall upside down right to its feet every time.
This is my life, and everything seems clear
How come each day I have imitation fear
My Father I pray, thank you for a day
I need not worry my path or my way
You provide all, that’s what the book says
So, I should be kind and always gives thanks.
Because where you send me, has no Banks.
