LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013

To be a father and to be sad, a silent pain,

That in the depths of the soul becomes powerful.

You see your child err, you wish to protect,

But you know there are lessons they need to live.

So too does God feel, in His infinite love,

When He sees us choose paths of pain.

He extends His hand, offers direction,

But respects free will, our decision.

To be a father is to love, even in persistent pain,

And God, with patience, watches, present.

For in the end, both the father and the Creator,

Know that love overcomes any fear.
