My Father

Since Dad passed

I call Mom daily

Her constant worries

Fears foisted

Upon my heart

Accepted when I was young

Making me afraid

Today I fear not

Not now

Not any more

No longer

Than a moment 

When I know

In both light and shadow

God is with me

With her

I try to convey the truth

 God is my Father

My Dad and my father

Her husband and eternal love

Is embraced and welcomed by Him

Believe, Mom.

Believe . . .
