Serving as His Light

My poem serves as an introduction for praising the gift that God has shared with my dear wife, Colleen.  From a bag filled with a collection of writings, she has crafted a book from her faith-filled heart about family and God.

Mother’s faith-filled love

Embracing Father’s grace

Teaching her daughters

About Heaven’s special place

 

Daughters’ faith blooming

Accepting Father’s love

Learning from His Word

His presence reigning above

 

Mother’s writing pen

Following Father’s heart

Serving as His light

Book begins initial start

 

Daughters growing up

Living in Father’s peace

Welcoming next steps

Faith maturing, piece by piece

 

Colleen fills so blessed to share God’s light with others.  After nearly seven months in the publishing process, her book is now in print.  The book is currently available on Amazon, but it will soon be featured on other platforms such as Barnes & Noble.

Monday Memories: Father’s Identity

Beautiful melodies

Cellos and violins

Stirring memories

New lives, set to begin

 

Father with daughters

Growing up with each one

Precious treasures to bless

Through Father, Holy Son

 

Music playing, forevermore

Images of each step

Laughter filling their rooms

Love knocks at our doorstep

 

Afternoon tea parties

Playing games, singing songs

Favorite storybooks

Life perfect, never wrong

 

Seeing their eager eyes

Savoring school’s first day

Playing in autumn’s leaves

Days never seem too gray

 

Watching each girl mature

Life’s incredible ride

Graduation moments

Wedding days at their side

 

Playing in the background

Peaceful serenity

Past, special moments

Father’s identity

 

My life has been blessed with a splendid and loving trio of daughters who have made fatherhood a true blessing.  I was listening to a rendition of Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon in D Major” as I wrote this poem.  I especially enjoy strings or piano (all three of my daughters are accomplished piano players).  Here is a sample of the music.  Enjoy!
