He Is

We have those long dark nights
In which we can never find the light
We have those dreadful weary days
But all the more we shall praise
Those waterfalls of tears that flow down pour face
And we put our heads down in a big disgrace
How can we make it through
Because during these times we have not a single clue

One thing I do know that’s never false and always true 
Is the love he shares and gives to everyone of us
And for sure he will never throw us under that big yellow bus
Stands by our side 
When the one we loved the most had passed on and died

I love you with all my heart and soul
You complete me and keep me whole
You are my sunshine in the midst of the rain
And nothing can come close not even the pain
You ease all the thoughts in my mind 
When my heart was like a broken clock and could no longer wind
I can call on you whenever 
And you will pick up
No matter the hour…no matter the time
You are always there willing to make that climb

He is…
The light at the end of that dark endless tunnel
He is…
The tissue that stops the tears from rolling down our face
He is…
The life when all I see is death
He is…
Comfort when all I know is despair
He is…
Our happiness when we are sad

No matter how many struggles that make us mad
He pulls us out alive
He carries us through thick and thin
He is not my family…he is so much more than that
He is not my mother or brother the term I prefer
Is the ultimate word we call him which is our FATHER

Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, 
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. 
Amen. (Matthew 9:9-13)
