Father You Are

Father you are stone Solid, granite A place To let troubles free I am planet You are moon Always watching When in sky, I cannot see You are strength Of pillar Always standing When I must lean A push, a shove Love tough When you know It's what I need Arms as iron fence Surrounding The whole Of family Bound you and I Tight upon one heart And on, God's honor set As to you, a father I hope to be

Awesome prayer, Michael! I'm all the way on another side of the world and reading some amazing poetry today and yours is one of them! Thank you for the comments you left a while ago...so encouraging. I struggle and feel so unworthy of His love and mercy. This holy season reminds me of the price he paid so I can stand unafraid of what tomorrow may bring..cause if He loved me that much then I can choose to let nothing have any power over me...freedom! Love & Happy Easter to you & yours! Annalise
