A Father’s Lesson

considered orphaned since quite young 
my Father has taken a personal interest in me 
his watchful eye keeping me 
holding me 
safe 

when others have loomed threateningly 
at different times he has maneuvered me 
out of harm’s way 
protecting me 
safe

you’ll find he gets angry when others use me wrongly 
like a father with a hurt daughter 
when others abandoned me 
he picked me back up 
safe 

i’d often wondered what was wrong with me  
why everyone seemed to handle me so carelessly
but to remind me i’m okay
he would prove to only ever leave me
safe 

-les’nspired 


he taught me that the only people i can trust 
are those who support me my Father’s way
