O' Father

By Steven Jester

O’ heavenly Father
This prayer I send to you
O’ heavenly Father
How could you do the things you do?
Why

Have you forsaken me O’ Father?
Why do you ignore my plea?
Do you even bother
Looking down upon me?
How

Can you ignore YOUR word Father!
To protect YOUR children!
Ignoring OUR needs or rather
Keeping YOUR influence hidden.
But

You missed one thing Father
Excluded one “tiny” flaw
I CAN SEE FATHER!!
Better than YOU give ME credit for.
Amen.
