Song For My Father

Song for My Father A thank You Father.. and to Mom, For creating me, that starlit, breezy, Chicago, June night. But why I asked, don't they credit my heavenly Father? You chose them with your Creator's hands..then.. Wrote my full name in  Humanity's warm sand. Poor souls, they had thought of getting rid of me! I heard them speak through Mom's cozy, warm tummy. I grabbed my oh so minuscule fingers together in fear. From my teeny face, rolled down a silent tear. Thank God! You woke them up from a thought so hideous, I still am here, amazed and quite delirious! I walk the planet and you gave me a daughter, too? How wonderfully mysterious! And her father...... Ah, so divinely delicious!

A great write, truly affirmative write, my friend. Why not send it to the Center for Reproductive Rights---and just watch those nattering nabobs of negativity jump all over you for being---yes, 'inhumane.' The times are completely upside down, as it's plain to see. ~ gw

Gotta say, I love you Gershon.)) I would be hung and quartered around some women. Times are beyond crazy. Panagiota
