A Poem To My Kids

As a divorced dad, and living a long way away from my kids, I often think of them. A few years ago I wrote this poem and gave it to both of them at Christmas. I hope you are inspired!

--------------------------------------

He is, I am
To : My kids


From early in my life, I’ve known him to be true.
My Father in Heaven knows who I am.
He gives me hints and direction to both me and you.

He does this by the way he talks and teaches,
The way he touches the depths of my soul.
My spirit is moved by his eternal reaches.

The way he speaks to me is personal.
His language is definite, yet inexplicable.
It’s emotional, loving and spiritual.

Something tells me he understands every situation,
It’s as if he’s been in every triumph and every failure.
His understanding is more than communication.

I am thankful that my soul; my being, he knows.
He understands my strengths and struggles.
I fear not, because I realize that I am not alone.

How is it possible that he could be so close to me?
How could it be that he can look me in the eyes,
and say, “whatever you ask that is good I will grant thee?”

I can tell you, with everything I am,
When you pray for the right thing,
He can do nothing, but grant.

So, if your spirit learns how to comprehend,
His knowledge will become yours.
The power of you, will become the power of him.

Someday, many may bring his cause into question,
Your understanding will be unwavering and true.
I have no doubt that you will then move mountains.

Until that day learn to be caring, loving and teachable.
Learn how to hear his voice and do what he says.
After this, the strength of your soul will be eternal.
