Poetry Sunday~ My Father


My Father

He strives to walk along the sand

with all his might he takes a stand.

Raises up one swift hand

He smites the sea; he smites the land

He cowers not to you or me.

Behold his love! Behold his glory!

Turn the page of inner fury

He rises up above the waves;

thrashing down the light that saves.

Scanning all the open shore

the beacon shines forevermore

He is my Father strong and pure

The Light that sits; awaits his call

Amid the storm to rise and fall

The lighthouse stands strong and tall

To guide one home through it all!

Thank you Joni.

The week started out with some unforeseen problems. This definitely helps.
