“For My Father”

Born in the winter
was this innocent
A child at first
full of curiosity and
goodness
Out of time and place
but perfectly placed
in time
To break with old
habits and worse traditions
and reconnect with
the older and better way
The way of life and
salvation
But even that
discovery had to wait
as this child became
a young man
full of life and
happiness and creativity
Only to travel the
world
Searching
Searching
Searching
Until he found what
he was looking for
his wife, partner,
and friend
But this was not all
he also found His
gospel
and his mission
and his hope
And together as a new
man with his new wife
and their new life
They dreamed
And struggled
And built
And survived
And dreamed again
To move again
To live again
To serve again
Now,
in the greying years
They both experience
all shades and hues
with no regrets
and much gratitude
That this honorable
man
was born
Born in the winter
and followed by a
Spring
