My Father
My Father
I am special because my Father is also the Father of the world.
We are all His special children, for on His finger the earth has twirled.
Though my earthly Father abandoned me, He was always there;
It brings tears to my eyes to ponder all of the ways that He cares.
The understanding way He listens when I need someone to talk to;
Or the way He makes me smile when He whispers “I love you.”
Perhaps it’s the fact that He will never leave me alone to wander,
For it is His loving words alone that make my love for Him grow fonder.
What I count on most is His protection and His guardianship over me;
When I am hurt or angry He says “Let it go and it will set you free.”
I sometimes don’t want to because the people hurt and ignore me so,
But I know He will deal with them harshly but first I must let it go.
There are no words to describe what His love feels like and means to me,
But here are a few: amazing, awesome, beautiful, and supremely happy.
I love Him with every fiber of my being-my soul-my spirit-my whole heart;
It is my faith that lets me know that my Father and I will never be apart.
I know He created the entire universe and that He created me.
Most of all, I know that my Father and I will live together in eternity.
