Embrace

Embrace

Emotions running.

I seek solace.

My father is gone.

We're singing his song.

My heart weeps.

And God meets me.

He holds me close and tells me

It will be fine.

I've been raised well.

A tall strong person.

A person well loved.

 The years pass

Since that moment in church

It's been two.

and I still recall 

clearly.

The spiritual embrace.

The love of a father 

for his daughter.

The love of a God 

for his very own child.

That love, felt and remembered

in the embrace of a husband.

in the quick squeeze of a lad.

My heart rejoices.

In the love shared.

This is a five minute Friday post. the word prompt is brought to us by Miss Kate.  Today the word is Embrace.   What is Five Minute Friday?  Well it's a party of a group of like minded folks who gather on Friday to do a five minute free write around a singular word.  AND THEN we take the time to offer up encouragement to each other on this writing journey.  It's fun, though it's not always easy, but it is always good.   Come join us won't you?  You are always welcome.
