The Perfect Christmas Gift
In a small bag,
made of paper,
the color of gold,
old not new...
The handwritten letters,
of a handful of kids,
left adrift in a big sea.
You gave them a home,
a place they were safe.
You gave them hope,
when the storms were full,
of dread.
Drugs and bad nights,
screaming and not stopping...
You were the rock,
because: You,
believe(d) in Him,
and that helped everything,
be better.
Papa, I love you...
Papa, I am doing fine.
Papa, I think of you,
every day and most of the time.
You were the father we never had,
the friend and angel that God sent.
Lastly, a short note,
on one side,
and a picture on the back...
Grandpa and Joshua
"I love you, Grandpa."
Amen.
