it may seem selfish
it may seem rude
but my heart is full
and for now has no room for two
Papa has eased my burdens
lightened my load
given me strength to begin
a journey that only he knows
it may seem strange
it may seem weak
but he has given me light
and blind eyes to see
faith brings me hope
and peace beyond dreams
it over flows through words
and conquers all needs
it may seem distant
it may seem cold
but my love is his
and presently his alone
hope brings my joy
in boxes filled with wanted ads
through his word I am worthy
and self-destruction ends
so it may seem selfish
you may not understand
but Papa holds my heart
in the strength of his hands

You have gifted me deja vu what delight I feel that can never be expressed in simple words.Glad you shared and keep penning this is amazing...

God loves you child, if he finds a little room in your heart you are a guarenteed winner!
Yeah, keep singing the praises and making him the center of your life until the day you can make room for a mortal man that deserves it of course.
Be well my child, Papa loves you and the rest of us too.

Awwwwww, I felt this for my biological dad. Unfortunately he's dead, so he cannot share my burdens, but he made me strong enough to survive. Epic poem!

Thanks so much for reading "Papa" is actually what I call God so I understand how you may not feel like your Dad is beside you but truly he is.
May God Bless You!
