Array ( [sid] => 91543 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Father's Hands [time] => 2005-04-19 21:23:32 [hometext] => by: Liezl Baje [bodytext] =>
i feel like death is so near
incessantly hunting me in my dreams.
which is a perfect nightmare for me
that i cry after in disbelief.

a din from far away i heard
people bewailed in tears from a wound.
the wound that reached my heart then bursts
from bursting to fear it turned.

those thoughts were interminable indeed
my buoyant life started to feel incomplete.
the thoughts of my friends and family filled,
my dreadful soul that could hardly breathe.

i got no one to confide with bout these
alone in my isolated world i lived
i found it hard but still tried to compete
with so many tears and pains, my fears became grisly.

i tried to be strong but it wasnt enough
to look within myself was the mistake i've done.
i wallowed in pride for i thought i can overcome
but i really didnt like what i've become.

i saw my very own soul drowning
she begged for help but no one was coming.
all of them left her there while she was pleading
my soul couldnt reach a hand of a good being.

and for the first time in my life
i saw a man reached out his hands surrounded by light.
i looked at him and thanked him for being kind
he smiled and said " U're welcome my child".

he looked so glad to see me
the solace i felt in his eyes were warm and lively.
the love i onced refused surrounded my body
as if im above the world i used to be living.

he started to talk as we walked
our conversation was about life and it's worth
i fidgetted a little when he mentioned bout my world
i felt like i wanna run and turn my back off.

but the love that i felt with him
was all over me and above extra ordinary.
i felt so special with him beside me
that i talked words of gratitude while we were walking.

his deep words did no impairment in my heart
instead, the holes were filled and a new hope was found.
his sweet and firm demeanor towered a parent's love
i will always remember him though i know we're gonna be apart.

finally, we stopped and said goodbye
i hugged and kissed the best man who saved my life
i said thanks with big tears in my eyes
and in a snap, i was back in the world where i nearly died.

i stood watching the sunrise outside my window
it was so beautiful, impending to shine my world by it's glow.
i sat in my bed and felt an agitation
and found myself in my knees, praying and calling the Lord.

i heard a familiar voice-- father-like and sweet
i opened my eyes and saw the very man in my dream.
the man who helped me and saved my ravaged well being,
and the one im praying to was the same and was Him.

i cried a little and he wiped my tears with his hands
the very hands that i reached out; the man who changed my path
he hugged me and for the last time, i saw him smile
and said warmly "I will always love you, my child."

i opened my eyes and saw the sun had risen up high
i endured the brightness it brought in my life that onced had died.
the light i saw in the Lord's hands would always be my guide
as i face the new challenges that tomorrow will bring toward life.

"My Father, you're love is overflowing
from every man's heart and soul to eternity.
Let your light shine throughout the humanity
For thy kingdom will soon come and in you, forever we'll live."

This poem is extreamly long and it takes away from the power of your stanzas..too much sweet turns sour....
