A Poem from the The Poet and His Thoughts Collection
Thoughts on Fathers Day - Viewed 297 Times
David Devaney
Website
June 22, 2009
At times I lack the courage
To love God as I should
To see him through the darkest night
There on the patterned wood
To understand he gave his son
So I could love achieve
And recognize that in my time
In me he does believe
I hear him call to me each night
So gentle and so kind
Bringing truth and confidence
As I his beauty find
Encouraging my every thought
As dreams he does reveal
And every now and then he’ll ask
If I his passion feel
His heart too beats in unison
With those who understand
That loving is the perfect gift
To share with all the land
That darkness cannot shroud the sun
If God is in my heart
And that each breath that I might take
With him does find its start
He loves me as a father should
Protecting me from harm
And though mistakes I freely make
It raises no alarm
For he gave me humanity
The freedom and the right
To choose a pathway of my own
Through dark and endless night
And if I choose within my heart
To be fulfilled with love
He’ll join with me forevermore
In heaven high above

Devin
