My Heavenly Father

~~~~*~~~~
My father and friend guardian above. I know you’re watching as I grow up. Showing me right from wrong, as I walk along. Pushing me down when I mess up. Never do I worry about your hand. For you are always standing there. Sometimes you’re quiet as a mouse. Never would have known you were peering down. Other times you shout like a fog horn ringing loud. When I look to the stars in the darkened sky I know where my answers lie. Deep within myself Is where they can be found. With a little help from my angels all around.

A lovely entry for Paula's contest, Cory. Wasn't sure if you were writing about God or your real father whose soul might be in heaven, but it didn't matter. The poem is very touching and I wish you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
