a Father’s Prayer to Father

a Father’s Prayer to Father

Father,

i am tired

i am weary

and through my tear laden eyes

i cry to you

had there been no You

there would be no me

this road of Trials and Tribulations

is daunting

and still yet

my past is haunting me

begging for reconciliation

back to you

and i know You knew

i would come to this

but another kiss

is all i desire

to feel Thy lips upon my own

affirming that some

of my sown Seed

will produce a sweet fruit

in my many times of desolation

you have pulled me through

with naught but your Silence

and hence i now affirm it all

those prayers have been answered

for here i am

with another day

to make a way

like David

my brother

to your heart

only to find out

i have never left

yet my quest

to navigate

through my own delusions

continue

the Wilderness has been good to me

for i did find . . .

most of me

and all of You

for as the Son spoke

the yoke is not easy,

but if you need me

“There I AM”

Cleave a wood . . .

turn over a rock

through all without

all within

call me

for i am thy friend

as i said

“There I Am”

e’en before Abraham

damn . . .

why did it take so long

for me to remember this song ?

a God-less life

is no life at all

it is but death eternal

a never ending

self induced purgatory

so i as a Father Pray

this Prayer to my Father
