Gary Fields Poet Ode

My Father

My Father is astounding
  In so many way's
      And the nature
Is all about him
   From His ample
Solitary Life of being
And with a Heart of Gold
                -
May the Lord fully bless Him
With Mind, Body and Soul
             - Fore -
He adapts' and mutates'
When ever their is a need
          Or need,
A need that need be
Surely there is a place
     For Him in Heaven
So, I pay homage' to Thee
Fore, He is my Father
A Father like no other

                     GF

Carolyn Devonshire June 18, 2011 at 1:31 AM Your father sounds much like mine was; he had a heart of gold too. He was also a man of faith who did not fear death, but saw it as a passage to eternal life. You dedication poem is genuinely moving, Gary. Bless you for sharing it with us and I hope both of you have a wonderful Fathers' Day. Thanks for your comments on the ghost poem. I saw a ghost that others had also seen at my university. Best wishes, Carolyn
