My Father

In the process of going through an old journal today, I'm finding quite a few things I would like to publish. This particular poem would seem to support Christianity, for it is the heart-cry of daughter to Father...but it doesn't, for it is a heart-cry that went unheeded, an anguished prayer that went unanswered.  For these reasons (among others) I forsook this false Father.

My Father

I call you

My Abba

I call you

Savior God

Oh Father

Be with me

Be near me

Don't leave me

Don't hurt me

My Father

I'll trust you

You help me

I'll love you

You help me

Oh Father

Be my strength

Be my rock

Don't wound me

Don't betray me

My Father

You love me

I have sinned

You love me

I am weak

Oh Father

Be faithful

Be holy

Don't destroy me

Don't break me

My Father

I need you

You are mine

I fail you

You are mine

Oh Father

Be fearful

Be the Lord

Don't fail me

Don't hate me

My father

I'm broken

Forgive me

I'm sinful

Forgive me
