"It's For You, Daddy"

At the end of each work filled day
When she hears his keys rattle in the door
Leaving her toys right where they lay
She jumps up, running across the bedroom floor

And she would take that faith-filled leap
Three steps away from him, with outstretched hands
The fear-free faith of a loving trusting child
Propelling her straight into the hands of her waiting dad

Later as he sat in his favorite chair to relax
She'd start bringing toys, one by one, to her dad
"It's for you, Daddy," she'd said, adding more to the stacks
'Til she had given him everything that she had

So raise your hands, your toys, your praise
Your strichnine and your snakes
Raise your crucifix, your beads and banners
It doesn't matter, raise whatever it takes

Sing your praise-filled song
With instruments crashing loudly
Or with one single solitary voice so small
Just stand firm and strong, just do it proudly

He doesn't really need a thing from you
Nothing big nor medium or small
No, there's not one deed He needs you to do
Yet He desires you give Him your all

So go ahead
Take the leap into His lap
But
Don't look down
and
Don't look back

It's a beautiful, touching poem, Gordy. That leap...it's hard, but it is worth it. Truely beautiful, Gordy. :thumbsup:

Oh Gordy I could picture it all.
And I was almost in tears.. thinking of my heavenly Father.. this is what He asks of us.. be like a little child.. trust Him.. love Him.. and climb on His lap..

You are so awesome and inspired by God.

I pray that what ever you set your hands to write that He continues guiding your pen..

Yes, in the end we give to our father that which we have to give.

This is beautifully written, Gordy.

Beautiful, majestic, spectacular write--

Faith and the leap is easy when you believe in, God,
he is the rapture in my heart.

Glorious read!
Captivating poetry!
