Heart

My father in the heights,
Please keep me in your sight
Cuz Parkinson's takes its toll
On mind, body, and soul.

I need someone to help me cope
Someone to feed me hope
Sweet words fall from his lips
Long after our courtship

His grin, his greatest charm,
My home is in his arms
I am safe in his embrace
My love, my ace

He has strong faith in you
He'll help my faith grow too
Together we'll pray each day
Then listen to what you say

Father, I hope you agree
This prayer, my honest plea
I trust you to find the right man
Please put my heart into his hands

Thank you for the kind compliment. It's not really all that long ago that I wrote it. But it seems like forever ago.

Do not think at good night. Still live under the tender light. My father was in a long ww And came back from Tatra Mountain on foot for/ Changing this strange wonderful world. That is why we stay in the hands of Lord. In your poems live a world entire.
