Last Explanation of Father Poem

19. Because where you send me, has no Banks.
I know that my life is more than now. This is not the only way. My Father’s Heaven is far beyond my own understanding. A place where there is no thought of darkness because it is always light. I won’t need of anything to hold or store or keep for myself. There are no Banks of life I need to have. My father provides all I will ever need.  Ever is time and there will be no time to keep track of, I will be in a light so bright of Love. Imagine being with the ones you love, and my God is my Father. I don’t have to imagine this, for my father is real today and tomorrow. My heaven is here for now and that’s why my Father created me. I can find this bliss even on this earth full of banks in my path and banks to cause a stumble, I just won’t invest my life in them. My investment is to my father.

Explanation of Father

FATHER- I decided to explain what my father poem means line by line.

1. Father, how do I live when there is so much to give.
God is my Father; I am praying to my Father. I am asking how I continue to live in such a world, when it asks me to do so much? It requires so much of me to survive just today. I must earn money to eat and have a place that won’t rain on me. I need love all the time just to stay straight up every minute of my life. This life is asking for so much from me Father!

2. If I take away a grain, I leave a little pain.
As I continue praying to my Father. I say Father if I cause to move the position of something as small as a grain of sand, this causes me to feel some pain. I moved a part of life I should not have moved. This is painful to me that I may have tilted my own balance and I’m no longer walking straight up. Something as simple to me as eating a grape at the grocery store to test its sweetness. Oh, what pain I have done to cause me to tilt?

3. If I try to save a fly, there is something else to die
Father, a fly is so small and so bothersome to me that instead of wanting to squash it, I catch it and set the fly free from my house. I turn another direction and may have killed a few ants after I accidently stepped on their tiny hill. I really didn’t mean to do it. I just wasn’t looking down that time. More pain!

4. I may hunger for more and then I close my door
Father, I know the things I need to live my life, and I love it when you give me more than I ask for. The hunger I long for is your continued love for me and the unexpected giving of you and I even thirst for that love from you every day. I know what I have but it stays with me because I have no one that I can share my love from you to that person. I want to share my love of you so much to others, but no one will listen, and I can’t share love of me or you to them. My love stays with me, and I must always close the door to others.

5. I really don’t know what to say, when I do, I walk away
Father I pray for your words to be spoken through me because I know by myself, I may not know the correct way of speaking to other’s to fully understand you are with me. It’s little words that I think are not harmful, but to some I may be repositioning their grain of sand. I speak hoping Father my words are your words and when I cause a spark, I just walk away because I caused a slight bit of pain.

14. How come each day I have imitation fear
I shall not fear, as I know any fear is looking away from you and it's not real. My real fear father is to step away from your presence without intention and cause me to lose my balance. I cannot control every moment of my life when there are others that need love too. I try to stand straight every time. This is a rough road, not with only many paths but many obstacles in my path to stumble upon. So, I fear not the paths or things that cause a stumble but concern I may not be wise enough to stay upright and lose my sight of you. My fear is so real, but my father promises to fear not. I must fight with my mind and my body and know the difference in both is always one with my father. That is an Amen.

15. My Father I pray, thank you for a day
So, I continue to pray, thanking you that my eyes have opened again from previous rest. The joy I see, and feel is my father inside guiding my life and showing me that Love is the answer to everything.

16. I need not worry my path or my way
I will not have doubt where I am going. Each moment I walk you have timed my path. I have faith in you and its runs through me. This makes us one and that is the path I will live to stay on.

17. You provide all, that’s what the book says
I have a wonderful book to find a note. The words appear to be for me. Just when I need a little more life, your book adds wisdom to keep me upright.

18. So, I should be kind and always gives thanks.
I know that Love has so many words of meanings. Love is all things and inside my love I will be kind to others and give thanks for my life with you. This is my way to live with others; to be kind and give thanks to everything, and this is my Father’s Love.

TGGIL...to be continued to the final line:
19. Because where you send me, has no Banks.

Father Explained, Continued

7. The river of life is only bringing a tide of strife.
Oh, I pray Father, such a joy to be alive and enjoying all your creation. It’s like a River constantly flowing and I am afloat on that river just enjoying my life with my father. As I look around me, I notice not many have the same enjoyment as I have and that saddens me that many don’t feel the love of my Father. It causes strife such as a homeless person trying to find work. I just can’t control this.

8. The Sun so bright quickly burns and withers until the night.
Father, the Sun is magnificent and truly you. The light brings joy to many a life and for some the sun will burn and fade thoughts and things and soon as the light goes dim, things will cease to exist. I understand Father, that life is so brilliant but can also be so dull.

9. Then the fog rest in, blocking the view from within
My dear Father I pray; I seem to know what I’m doing but there are times I lose focus. Is it because I looked away from you or am I missing a bit of wisdom? Either way, I know I am facing more than I can handle simply on my own. I will continue to seek my way with you and have faith that my path is straight.

10. I pray out loud and listen to silence realize it’s me on that fence
My Father, how much I pray to you always giving thanks for my life. There are times I am a bit confused because others around me lean another way. I try to conform and seek your wisdom and most of the time I am balancing my life with you and the life of others, trying to be a friend with you father at my side.

11. This way or that, it’s about a cat, finer than fine.
Father, I see life as Heaven surrounding me. There is so much to live for, and the perfect way is with you. You give me such assurance of how perfect you make life for me. A cat is a perfect example of what could seem a disaster is protected by my father in all I do.

12. Let it fall upside down right to its feet every time.
I see a cat fall from a height and the way it will twist and turn and safely land on its feet. This is my father’s doing, this I know that perfection is so fine. Yes, it’s finer than fine.

13. This is my life, and everything seems clear
I know Father, I am alive and breathing your air, eating your food and love all around me I will faithfully pursue. With you holding me close, I have purpose to live every day and I will be able to survive all things and all others in my narrow path I hold so close to follow towards you.
