I WILL GIVE HIM BACK TO YOU

LORD, thank you for giving me my Dad.
I know you’ll need him back some day.
Dad willingly did what you asked him of him.
He rocked me on his lap at night,
And kissed all of my boo-boos away.
I danced softly on his polished shoes,
And we rode roller-coasters over and over.
I watched him comb his hair like Elvis
And he held me close on our weekends.
Dad gave my hand when I was married,
And joyfully played with his grandkids.
As I reflect on his love and guidance,
And “I love you this much” we said,
I will give him back to you some day,
And you’ll care for him like he did me.
Thank you for all our years together.

Truly Amazing
PaulaAnne;

Once again, I am amazed at your work. This is awesome, it kind of reminds me of Hannah in the Bible, when she did not have any kids because she was baren and prayed unto God, that if He grant her a child, she would give him back to Him to be His servant. And I told God that about my 4 sons, that they are His and not mine, and I laid them at the feet of Jesus... Thanks for the write.


Blessings,
