A Father and Grandfathers Prayer
Father please speak to my children & grandchildren's heart. In the fourth watch, before their day starts. As they move about throughout their day. Bring believer's alongside them as they make their way. Only those that are walking in Your truth. The elderly with wisdom and passionate youth. From each of their memory, let it not get away. The reason why Jesus...

O Father Tell
What would You do, O Father, tell, If I should fade like fleeting mist? Would heaven break, would heavens swell, Or would my absence not exist? Would You still light the morning bright, When I no longer watch the skies? Or let the dawn dissolve in night, A silent tear in hollow eyes? Would You still call my name once more, When all my...

Well, Brutus was that sort of chap As whacked his old man in the Cap. The senators there, They’d stab or they’d stare, With all other business a wrap. ...

Father please let there be light in the heart of my descendants
Father, because of you I feel so relaxed, Through You today I'll chill. Let all be well inside my heart, Because calmness is your will. I'll take it easy all day long, Because You make my heart leap with joy! You cause happiness to surge within, Like a child with Christmas toys! Hope in You blossoms in my heart, As flares of joy flood...

Hymn: God Who's So Genderful
Comes our God motherly, motherly, motherly, Holding us tenderly when we're in pain. Comes our God fatherly, fatherly, fatherly, Strength'ning us daily to face life again. Just what will tomorrow bring causes me worry With so many tasks that I plan to complete, And the thought of it makes me feel weary already. I lay down my head and then struggle to...

To My Little Girl, Always
I held her first before the world, A tiny hand, a dream unfurled. So small she lay upon my chest, My loudest heart, my quiet rest. She looked at me with eyes so wide, As if I’d hung the stars with pride. And in that gaze, I clearly knew, My life had found a purpose true. I taught her how to tie her...

Premium Member Purple Dreams in Other Realms
Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace, she shone like the midnight sun; I must confess, she looked rather whimsical sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!   Would you like to hear more about the fairy girl, whose name was Amethyst? As...

Premium Member He Ascended Into Heaven In White Clad
With His arms wide open and His head bowed low He prayed to His Father, without making a show Two thieves at His side, one repented one not Savior of this world, gave it all He got They placed Him in a tomb and rolled up the stone all that was left of Him was flesh...

Reflections and Perceptions
Reflections and Perceptions BY Joshua Otieno Angasa I hope our daughters will love me as much as you guys love your Aabo. That sentence-simple, but it lingers like a shadow at golden hour, soft, honest, unfiltered. See, I stare at mirrors and moments, trying to trace the outlines of a father I’ve never met-yet somehow must become. Trying to shape love from echoes, build trust...

My Own Personal Hell
What have I created? I look in the eyes of the devils kin everyday, yet it has not fazed me until that day. This man, who claims to love and care for me, Has brought me to tears more than I can count But you see, I’ve made him this way he claims. I am ungrateful. I am selfish. I am rude. I am a dishonorable...

Painful Memories
Every day I wake up, And every day I remember The way you left me with no warning Fleeing like a dog off its leash It was my 13th birthday I suppose that’s when fear settled in, abandonment followed Filling every pore of my body Though this wasn’t the first time, Definitely wouldn’t be the last I only wish I knew, What made you leave? Was...
