My Father

Today, on Fathers Day, I honor my Father. All of my life, he has been right by my side. At times, I pretended that he didn't exist. I continued on with my life, harboring pride. When I was a child, sometimes I would cry. Others thought that it was fun to mock. As a fatherless child, I was singled out. No one understood that He was my rock. Sometimes the world was cold and cruel. I spent a lot of time trying to run away. Those were the times, I was closest to Him because, I would fall on my knees and pray. I couldn't understand why I was searching. What I was seeking, I could never find The whole world was my playground, until I learned I had to leave it behind. What I needed had always been there, my Heavenly Father, I bask in his glow He showers me with blessings everyday. He loves me and keeps me, now I know.
