Invisible Men

Dad died, a accident at work
I still a fetus,
Mom waiting to give birth
Birth sprang forward
Making Grandma, Mom and I
Love bestowed unto me,
Two of which invisible for me to see

A mystery lies beneath the scenes
from infancy to early teens
Mom taught me of the love my Dad had for me
Grandma taught me how much Jesus loved we three

Two men, invisible to see
Both loving me and I loved each of them
Invisible men, very real to me,
Dad's pictures on a shelf
with Mom's loving words
Jesus pictures on the wall
Grandma speaking of His love

Jesus was grown, older than my Dad
when He died upon the cross
that all men should live

My Dad now lived in Heaven
with Jesus, up above
Impossible! it would have been
that I not believe:
for if I had a Dad,
Then Jesus died for me

My invisible men
were watching over me
As I spoke my prayers each night
To Jesus up above
I always asked Jesus
to give my Dad a hug

Marcy,
  This is very touching piece, which you have shared with us of yourself, and we appreciate it.It tells me of several things:
Of a sense of loss, of that which you never knew personally, but thanks to a gracious loving mother, His memory was keep alive-and thus his impact could also be felt/Of a sense of Gaining through a loving Grandmother, who did her best, to introduce you to someone also you have never seen-but Helped make Him real in your life/and thirdly, it speaks wonderfully of the impact of the unseen--and calls to my mind the verses 2 Cor 4:18 and I Peter 1:8-9).Look them up and I think you will be blessed by them.  Your Friend, David

Marcy this was very touching! I'm glad they kept your Dad's memory alive. Also that they taught you of Jesus.  

I'm left speechless as to what to say to this. I think it's wonderful and it touched me deeply.

God does have a sense humor. Just take a look at the platypus!
