Thinking of You This Father's Day

It’s a little peculiar To think You are more present Than ever More now That you are gone I feel you hovering around me Protective and encouraging I feel you Plugged into my energy Almost living vicariously Through me And it gives me Strength and determination As I feel you with me More like a spiritual presence Holding my hand Guiding me On my quest Through the galaxy Of life’s miracles and mysteries Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~A SIMPLE MAN~ 2020 AP: 2nd place 2021, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on May 10, 2018 for contest MID MAY PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

Beautiful. We will never know the limit of Gods mercy and who he allows to visit us after leaving the earth. There is no doubt love is too powerful to quench.

Fathers leave our very world and we are never the same as before.. A whole missing a core! A wonderful tribute to your Dad! May the hand of God sooth your innermost and shower peace on your father's soul. Stay blessed dear Line.

That would be a fantastic feeling, Line. I would sure love to feel this in my life if a loved one passed away. My stepbrother Dale was my favorite person in the world , yet I never felt his presence when he left this world.

Beautiful Line. I wrote one similar about my father. The older I get, the more like him I become. I am so grateful for the talents he gave me.
