Daddy

I wrote this poem some years ago, and I loved it then. But after I heard a teaching, I realized that I needed to make a change. The poem was about Jesus, but as I went over it in my mind, I realized that all the attributes were of God the Father. There are many ways to interpret that, but I will just leave it at how much I love and trust my Daddy.

Daddy

God?
-Yes dear.
I crawl into His lap and
look into His eyes.
I study His face,
memorize Him by touch.
-Nothing.
I just want to know You.
-I know, He smiles.

Abba!
Frightened by the storms,
I cling to Him.
-Yes, My child.
He becomes a strong shelter;
a Rock that draws me near,
One who is not shaken.
-Nothing.
I just want to know You're there.
His strong arms protect me.
-I know.

Papa God
I cry.
I sob with a bleeding broken heart
dejected, rejected in my hands.
-Yes, My love.
He takes the heart,
bruised and battered by people and life,
and exchanges it for His.
Restored and whole,
I draw near to Him.
-Nothing.
I jsut want to hear Your voice,
feel Your love.
-I know, He says
and draws me to Himself.

Daddy?
-Yes, precious.
I look with love into His face,
nesteled agains His chest,
enthralled by His heartbeat.
As I sit in His presence,
absolutely embraced
in His powerfully loving arms,
words fail me;
not even necessary.
I enjoy just...
Him.
-I know.
