Talking to my Father by Amy NiggelI talk to my Father
He listens,
always patient
always knowing what is best
even if I don't know it then.
I cry to Him,
take him my broken dreams,
my wounded pride,
my shattered nerves.
I ask for things I do not need,
and He provides what I do.
I question Him
and He puts forth riddles as answers.
I complain I cannot carry one,
and He shows me more of what can happen.
I fear that I may break,
He throws more onto my back.
I talk to my Father
and I thank Him for all of it.
He shows me I am wrong,
that I can make it through.
He gives me strength,
He shows me what love is,
He teaches me compassion,
and trust
and reliance.
I learn so much from talking to my Father 09/07/2003 Author's Note: I didn't realize how much I missed going to church till I went this morning
