The Awakening

The Awakening

 

 

The constant questions

coming at me

continuously make me

rethink everything

I thought I knew

for you make me

see a whole new

fresh vista

of the vast world

working your miracles

stirring me

from my deep sleep

of selfishness

opening my eyes

can’t be myopic

like most males are

for you make me

see beyond

my own horizon

rousing me to

the huge world

of being a father

for I do worry

now that I am

consciously aware

for the first time

what needs to be done

for you make me

rise above myself

through the sheer

power of your spirit.

Charles ... Very nice tribute to your child. I have a daughter and feel the same way as you do ...This poem reflects a lot of my own views. Very nice write! :) Ken

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
