Poems

Dad
by

George J Miller

He was a vehicle for his eldest son,
To understand how he wanted to raise his children.
For his son left his father's shame behind him.
What the son would have inherited,
The anger, alcohol and unloving heart,
Would be left in the past.

That is the privilege of a son now a dad himself.
To improve his children's lot in life.
Oh! he was scarred for half his lifetime,
By an intensely selfish father.
But God had his way and loved him the latter half.

Now God healed the wounds inflicted upon
The son,to bring about the change.
Placing the desire in the son's heart to
Love his children, better than he was loved.
Ending a generation of woundings.
Giving the children's children more hope.

For the son, now a dad, loved God, and taught his
Children: that love for his God.
Giving them God's love, a far cry
From his early lifetime, an honour to his God.
A most honourable glorifying of a personal
Lord and Saviour, out of love.

"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:23
