Home Going

Across deaths valley a young father voice is carried clothed and bathed in love
His wife and small daughters fill his mind as he speaks with heaviest intent
With the days that are left his words carry the profoundest meaning that he can bestow
He grows in stature his measure found and springs from deaths shaking that reveals a hidden well
His tongue given rarest eloquence thoughts emerge when eyes see loved ones in their purist form
All pretense or common notions have their place on the altar only life’s promise stands without equal
Questions are filled with faith doubts can’t be found this comes because Jesus is the trusted friend
His children knows why he came what it cost him and the reason he had to die daddy will be fine
He taught them all are welcomed in the father’s home and will reunite if they carry the son’s holy name
When the children are spoken of the mood enchants like a candle the darken room becomes a cottage
Truly there is an enchanted forest the proof the living dreams that can be held and squeezed so tight
The giggles a brook that defies description but to the ears and heart this language has no comparison
Then complete the picture with personalities take fall leaves of breath taking beauty be allowed to
Harvest flowers that truly set in realms that are indistinguishable has heaven been wondered into then
Circle these wonders with individual snowflakes that have been enlarged to show their intricate detail
Nowhere else can you find this mixture of perfection then in tiniest packages that are brimming with
Love they can coo as well as the mourning dove their sound disturbs the air then the haunting touching
Sound fills you with rapture no one deserves such gifts but this father knows this pleasure and is
Captured by the softest touch this includes voices tiny fingers and eyes that melt you when you see the
Unspoiled unattainable joy that flows freely into your heart Dark clouds ominously rise on the horizon
With uncertain future you pray and cautiously watch but in this circumstance this dad is teaching lessons
That can’t be found in any other way all will face at some stage in life this hardship Thank God he gives
Us teachings that are found in terms that are endearing and makes us know how blessed life really is.
