The Disaplinarian


 Time ran out while busily stressed

Hectic dash between dates fleshed

Eternity called, and you calmly ceded 


Divinity's voice harkened, yet you lingered.

Insisting verbal release, holding my fingers

Spirit of God took and reshaped your heart

After humbling your ego, shot like a dart

Preaching peace, bowing, asking forgiveness

Learning to say I am sorry for my remissness

In turning from foulness generational curses

Null and void, and sons now fathers verses

Anger for gentleness shaped the tone 

Raising with love and few rebukes honed

Into our lives walking a path eagerly taken

Actor in a play for a while forsaken

Never by God, only man needed redemption.

Happy Father'overs Day to All who serve in that capacity. The last year I wrote a specific post for Father's Day was in 2012. I was going to write one for my husband but told him that with all the anxiety and unfairness in our young grandchildren's lives, I would bump him, with his agreement, to the following year and basically cover two of our sons. That one is entitled Daddy, The Missing King.

He agreed - had we known we were about to step into a hell of misdiagnosing, over medication, and life on the fast track taken into a speed dial life, had I done that, it would not cover his death six years later.


Happy Father's Day, Paul Jr., in the Spirit! Praise God you were reborn before you died.
