The Way Our Father Can
The Way Our Father Can
As I close my eyes, I disconnect
I feel myself slipping away from my reality
The everyday has gone, I feel nothing at first
I do not feel the stress; I do not feel the pain
I do not feel anything
I should be afraid, but I’m not
There is a presence here
I open my eyes, I look around
There is no one in sight
A light breaks through, the darkness divides
And now before me stands Truth
He takes my hand and leads me away
To places from my past
I look around without a sound
And marvel at what is there
The times I was protected
When I never knew that danger was there
And then defeated while I went on
More than a conqueror without a single fight.
He took me to the present
A place of constant despair
Where chaos now reigns supreme
And love is beaten and dying
There would be no hope I would now concede
For a people who have allowed defeat
For in selfish ambition, love is sacrificed
To the greatest detriment
With tears of pain and anguish
At such a hideous sight
I slowly shake my head
For how could our Creator
Instill love in this place again?
As tears still flowed from my face
He reached out an arm of light
Touching my eyes he said
Now, look again through my eyes
And tell me what you see…
I looked now to an infinity of fields
Each being prepared in stages
Now son, he said, you take this gift
And with that He held out His hand
And within His palm, a seed of light
Began to grow blindingly bright
I took it from His hand, not knowing
Where to go or what to doThen he took another and placed it down
In a fertile soil that soon would be broken
As a flower of indescribable beauty
Forced through the top
He told me then that He was my Creator
And that we are all fearfully
And wonderfully made
And that with His love to build us up
No foe could take us down
In a flash of light it is all gone
Though I know I am not alone
As he will be my tether of life
When I become disconnected
And feel myself slipping away
To know that no matter where I go
He is the constant that brings security
I can now see me and see you
As our Creator does
And the beauty contained within us
Deserves to be given life
Just take the seed in your heart
And as you grow and bloom
Take the gift of love and life
And give it, again and again
For it is important for you and me
To see each other in the light
The way our Father can.
