    An Apology to My Father©

     Dear Father,

    I turned my back on you

    At a time when I needed you most

    I didn't realize it then

    I was so caught up

    In the Mesmer of man

    Expecting him to fulfill my desires

    I didn't realize it then

    When my desires were left

    Without manifestation

    My heart waxed cold toward man

    Toward You too

    Who am I to think I

    Could make it without You?

    Well, the experiment is over

    Statistics have proven

    There is no me without You

    I know You “get” me,

    You understand why I do

    The things I do

    You understand why I say

    The things I say

    You understand why I feel

    The things I feel

    You know, You created me

    I wish that You would

    Enlighten me about me

    What do You see

    Can I see it too?

    I'm sorry for my sinful behavior

    Great Poem! Your poem mirrors my thoughts. It is hard, but once we know and understand that GOD must be first in all we do, especially relationships, we are better off for it.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
