Tears of a Father for His ChildrenA Poem by Olando LucasYou ask me why my eyes are filled with tears; these are tears of anxiety, pain, and fear from the pressure of all these lonely years. God, please do not forsake me, I am not my father so his sins are not a part of me. I am trying to raise my son to be better than me. Please God give me the strength to go on and to be mentally strong. Please forgive me for all I have done wrong, I am on my knees, with my head bowed, you have my submissions, you have broken me. God please. I beg you to guide me on the path I need to follow, I am willing to give you all of me, and Lord please bless my soul. Please do let my sins become a burden to my children, or should I say our children. I committed the acts of betrayal, violence, lies, adultery and the list continues. These are not my babies’ sins, their souls are still innocent. I will give my last breath to see them succeed, my children are my life line ,they are my oxygen, they're my lungs that assist me to breath. God please don't let the sins of my father destroy the future of my seeds, give the future fathers the knowledge, strength, and motivation to lead. Let me struggle no more; let me liberate in the glory of your blessings. Free me from the prison of the world’s depression. Let me sleep in your arms, while I lay my head on your chest; let me be the model of perfection in the eyes of the rest. God I pray that I am healed and my sins are washed away from my breast. Lord I give you my all until and after my death © 2015 Olando Lucas |
