Father, I Bleed

Fresh hands clasped by your rough fingers

Altogether how loving is your face

Though I may be alone, you are the pillar of my strength

Held in your arms, I fear nothing

Entering your embrace, your broad chest and powerful arms have brought me up 

Realizing your love for me is unconditional and endless

 

I could only hope to return it

 

Blessed I am to have you and to know you

Listening to your every word, you are my lifeline

Everything I owe to you, if only I could give some of it back to you

Empowered by the thought of you, through you I have learned to love and to live

Death could not separate me from Your love


The author's comments:

When I was thinking of what to write about, I decided I wanted to write a poem about something with a connection to parents because it's almost Father's Day. I chose to write about my dad, but as I began writing, I realized I wasn't really thinking about my dad, but more so about God and my relationships/perspective of Him, so I ended up writing with the thought of trying to convey and communicate my emotions of Him in the poem.
