The Way Our Father Can

The Way Our Father Can As I close my eyes, I disconnect I feel myself slipping away from my reality The everyday has gone, I feel nothing at first I do not feel the stress; I do not feel the pain I do not feel anything I should be afraid, but I’m not There is a presence here I open my eyes, I look around There is no one in sight A light breaks through, the darkness divides And now before me stands Truth He takes my hand and leads me away To places from my past I look around without a sound And marvel at what is there The times I was protected When I never knew that danger was there And then defeated while I went on More than a conqueror without a single fight. He took me to the present A place of constant despair Where chaos now reigns supreme And love is beaten and dying There would be no hope I would now concede For a people who have allowed defeat For in selfish ambition, love is sacrificed To the greatest detriment With tears of pain and anguish At such a hideous sight I slowly shake my head For how could our Creator Instill love in this place again? As tears still flowed from my face He reached out an arm of light Touching my eyes he said Now, look again through my eyes And tell me what you see… I looked now to an infinity of fields Each being prepared in stages Now son, he said, you take this gift And with that He held out His hand And within His palm, a seed of light Began to grow blindingly bright I took it from His hand, not knowing Where to go or what to doThen he took another and placed it down In a fertile soil that soon would be broken As a flower of indescribable beauty Forced through the top He told me then that He was my Creator And that we are all fearfully And wonderfully made And that with His love to build us up No foe could take us down In a flash of light it is all gone Though I know I am not alone As he will be my tether of life When I become disconnected And feel myself slipping away To know that no matter where I go He is the constant that brings security I can now see me and see you As our Creator does And the beauty contained within us Deserves to be given life Just take the seed in your heart And as you grow and bloom Take the gift of love and life And give it, again and again For it is important for you and me To see each other in the light The way our Father can.
