Poetry for Papa

                      
        I can feel you pulling me closer

I can hear your voice and see your hand

Slowly, I begin to understand

My life is not mine own, to you I belong

The melody of your grace is my life, my song

I am completely yours, forever this will be

In my pain, it is you I seek

Your creativity of love leaves me weak

and in my weaknesses the truth is clear

that in the midst of all my wandering, you are always near

Trusting you is becoming my life

Trusting you in the midst of pain, agony and strife

In my own strength, I will fail

but your love and faithfulness continue to prevail

So Papa, into your lap I crawl

Trusting you with it all.
