Dad's Faith

DAD’S FAITH

At the end, there were too many days
And dust, not from his own plodding.

The warmer memories of his best days
In ways fell past; now there was nodding.

I’d heard of those with greater faith,
But had really nothing to compare;

Ill health had reduced him to a wraith,
Though he didn’t much seem to care.

Spring stood empty, but the sky held clouds, 
So the cold rain came as no surprise.

He left us bereft, memory enshrouds;
I can still see the faith in his eyes.
