In the Light of Day

19 October 2003


A father
a daughter
A love in the light of day
Yet to be childless
was to pray come what may

Seeking a happiness
to share a life as one
But to be near her
as a parent to come

Such was a living
built with a hint of hope in place
In being void of her love
in a desire to savour such grace

A father
a husband
A parent and more
Not to be at oneness
in sadness ever more


“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:
behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”
Zechariah 9: 9 KJV

“Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold,
thy King cometh, sitting on an ass colt.”
John 12: 15 KJV


a poet who cares

Lovely. From one who knows.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
