A Fathers Love

What Is Small & Delicate Upon First Waking
Becomes Strong & Mighty In Dreams

** Read Loud
Read italics after to hear the second story
 
 
TWINKLED EYE VIEW OF FATES DERIVATION
    The instant you were born
 
GODS PEACE FOUND ITS SOULS SIGNIFICANCE
    My life took on new meaning
 
AROSE IN CUSTODY STALWART ARMS HELD
    Holding you in my arms
 
DESTINIES CROSS AFFECTED
    Two fates meeting– Tiny fingers entwined with mine
 
BRIGHT BEAMING JUDGMENTS ENTRANCING
    Looking up at us with dazzling smiling eyes
 
RESPLENDENT AS THE SUN’S HALCYON DAYS
    As radiant as the sun in summer
 
PERSUADING CREATIONS REVELATION
    Coaxing nature to display
 
OF A PERFUMED SOVEREIGN OFFERING
    Its most fragrant gift
 
UPON OMNIPOTENT STAGE
    In broad array
 
DIVINELY DISPLAYED
    As if to present
 
AS IF TO EXCLAIM
    Or to say
 
HALLELUJAH
    All praise be to GOD
 
FOR UPON THIS PROFOUND INTIMATE EPOCH
    For on that day
 
DID GRACE’S MEASURE FULLY REVEAL
    I was given the gift
 
TRUE LOVELINESS
    Of a daughter
 
AND A FATHERS LOVE
    Thanks be to GOD

Multiple stories simultaneously.

1st story - Christ on the Cross (A Fathers Love)
2nd story - The birth of my daughter (a fathers love)

* I used a translation (italics) of the words in the first story to tell the second story
* I used my Daughters name Tressa (Summer) Rose (natures way of saying Hallelujah - all praise be to GOD) to help tell both stories.

Note: I was challenged to write a poem... a significant moment in my childhood... I was to keep it mysterious... I elected to tell the mysterious story of my second birth... as well as tell the story of my becoming a man... the day my first child was born... the day I started truly living for someone else...
