Father


Father full of love for son,
shows him how life is won.

Father shapes his lump of clay,
shows him how to work and play.




Father loves words and books,
shows him his reading nook.

Father spends time with son,
shows him life from sun to sun.

Father sleeps sound at night,
shows him peace from living right.

Father tells of wounds of heart,
shows him how to heal each part.

Father shares faith in God,
shows him where saints have trod.

Father shares when he's failed,
shows him how victory's scaled.

Father points to open road,
shows him how the road is strode.

Father opens wide the world.
shows him how life's unfurled.

Father loves the son's mother,
shows her honor above all others.

Father blesses his son,
shows him how to bless each one.

Father fades from all his days,
shows him how to live his ways.

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay

Christmas Day is here! Christmas toys assemble, little armies in strict array Christmas days tremble with memory's magic display Christmas ways resemble lost youth's joyous play Christmas snow remembers forgotten childhood days Christmas tinsel twinkles with the blinking colored lights Christmas memories sparkle in the yellow candlelight  Christmas tears sprinkle on the lonely winter nights Christmas years dwindle as they amble out of sight Christmas morn' sends Santa down the warm chimley, there Christmas morn' brings Jesus in the cold wood manger, dear Christmas morn' rings soundly, filled with festive cheer Christmas morn' sings loudly: Christmas Day is here! © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Merry Christmas Card:  By Souvenir Post Card Company, New York (eBay front back) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Soldier Image:  Brownie in Christmas Land by Marian Jack, 1922 via open clipar...
