The Gift For Grieving Fathers on Fathers Day Here I sit and stare.... out the window of our home.., On this Fathers day... Feeling so very alone. Oh, how I wish.... My child was still here.... Bringing me a Fathers day gift... Even an ugly tie would be so nice this year. But...my child has gone on to Heaven... And is playing on streets of gold... Listening to Jesus tell stories... of so many years ago. And today I find myself thinking... about the meaning of a gift.... For a gift is something given to you... that makes you smile and gives you a lift. But...many times we receive a gift.... And then lose it or misplace it some day... But we never forget the gift... For the memories remain tucked away. I think I have concluded... On this Fathers day.... That since a gift is yours once given... It can never be taken away. And the most precious gift...that I was given.... To me ...so many years ago.... Was the day my child entered this world.... And touched my life, heart, and soul. So on this Fathers day.... I thank the Lord for the most precious gift of mine.... My child in Heaven...treasured times and memories.... That will remain with me...my entire lifetime. For a Gift is a gift... And my most precious gift....remains in my heart... And just then...a rainbow appears out my window.... reminding me....that my gift and heaven are not so far. |
