I’m just a drop,
a drop in the ocean
A mere speck to God’s eye
An insignificant river pebble
And that’s no lie….
To you I’m the centre of all creation
The hero in your life
You, the apple of my eye
I love you both, so much
But,
look beyond my mortal, tainted shadow
High beyond the clouds in the sky
Up to God our Creator
For He is a much greater Father
Than I….

wow! dit is pragtig, ek self is nie 'n ouer nie, maar ek kan glo dat daar nie 'n groter liefde as die vir jou kind is nie. en jy is reg, vir daai twee dogterjies is jy hulle held,en hulle, daddy's little angels!!

So true. As fathers, we are the center of their worlds-we are perfect, invincible supermen. Your children are young-you are still their super hero. Mine are now young adults and somewhere along the way, they learned that I was a mere mortal-I felt pain, got sick and was not able to solve every problem. I'm sure it was a painful lesson for them, but it was also painful for me because I felt that I had let them down. I hope that I am still their hero despite being a flawed mortal.

Oh goodness this is so beautiful! I am sure with every hug God's love just flow through you making that moment even more special. Your child is blessed to have a father like you. May you be blessed!

Oh that's so sweet, but so sad.... To me, not even god was greater than my dad. I wish you guys wouldn't sell yourselves so short.
But I loved the fatherly undertones and the spiritual message to you child.

Beautifully uplifting and heartfelt! I enjoyed your theme of Fatherly love on both levels. You've captured so much emotion and delivered a very powerful message in your brevity. Thank you for sharing.

Ah I loved this poem totally ...
for are we not all but children of our Heavenly Father? And: did his Son not bring to us the Gift of immortality? Baie dankie, Anthos, vir hierdie pragtige gedig.
Geseënde Kersfees vir jou en jou geliefdes, Verre Vriend!

excellent!
yeah, I agree with evey word you said here. A wonderful little piece that in a few words says more than a mouthful.

Fantastic write. Being a father myself I can understand where this poem is coming from. I could see this poem being published in a magazine or even in an anthology.
I can't see anything wrong with the structure or the tone either. I keep reading it, but it's faultless :
