Through Miracle I Myself Became Made Aware

One day seemingly out of nowhere After my father's untimely passing In the depths of my despair Tortured crippled wailing praying daily Blaming him for never stopping leaving A miracle quite obviously too me occurred As he must unto and through me A one final last departing gift impaired His ohh so defining voice and choice of words That distinguished him so eloquently Above and beyond the everyday norm As at his feet , gaze and presence you reveled Attentively into his knowledge and wisdom And I being nothing like he unfortunately Is the reason being why I have now Come to believe that miracles do occur Simply due to the very fact I am hereby able now to write What I am writing to you all about now Because it wasn't an ability I possessed Previously or at any point in my life So the where and how it came from To me is proof beyond a shadow of a doubt That somehow or other through me My father Gerard Vincent Flaherty Is still very much a part and alive In sprit and soul and relevant today As that fateful tragic day he sadly passed away And a miracle of miraculous proportion Came to pass enabling a part of him to stay Behind enveloping my mind

On the face of it Christopher most people believe we cheat death by living on through our offspring, but you go much further here, saying as a direct result of your Dad’s death you directly inherited part of his consciousness, I for one certainly wouldn’t negate your poem, it’s very profound and one to ponder, A tribute and a revelation, Excellent cheer’s David
