The One Who I Admire Most

The One Who I Admire Most

Jeff.JPGSince I have been an infant cradled gently in your arms,
You've always taken care of me and kept me from all harm.
No matter who has come and gone in this life of mine,
You're the one who has been strong, a fortress by my side.
And eventually, I'll find that guy who captivates my heart,
But until then, you were made to play that vital part.
It's hard sometimes- I realize that- but you have been the best,
To help me through my hardest trials. I am just so blessed.
Of all of those that I admire, there are so very few,
But the one who I admire most is my only father: you.

Dad and Me
I wrote this poem in honor of my dad, whose birthday is today.  I love him so much, and have been blessed by having him in my life.  He is a great example for me in so many ways, and I'm thankful that I have a father who is a part of my life and wants to spend time with me.

Again

Again


There are days when I am tired,

And I'm weary of this earth.

Sometimes I only want to hide,

When I cannot see my worth.


So I walk outside the open door,

Into the gently pouring rain.

I've been in this place before,

And here I've found myself again.


You'd think I'd learn the first time.

This isn't where I want to be.

I wish that I could find a sign,

That You're taking care of me.


I tilt my face up to the sky,

Even though the sun is gone.

I shut my fists and whisper, "Why?"

I know that I'm not strong.


I close my eyes against the rain,

As it streaks across my skin.

You love me through my tears and shame,

And you wash me clean again.
