Un-Father's Day

De-throned, I sit amid my splintered life;
Convulsed in misery, repulsed at strife
That tears, distorts, and damages my goods,
My blood, my name, as nothing ever should.

I, who had promised always to remain;
To cover with my life, to ease the pain
The world might bring, to be the priest
And savior of my brood and ask the least,

Found now in agony, no toys upon my floor,
No arms outstretched, no tiny voice, no more
The welcome sweetness of my purest son
To greet me as he's always done.

These fragments never more shall know
The unity, the oneness of my soul.
Hell appears inviting when I see
The agonizing silence awaiting me.

I never knew each cell could suffer so.
I never dreamed that like a vapor go
The lives I cared for -- cherished --loved
And dedicated to the Lord above.

A thousand devil-demons taunt me now
And jeer because I don't know how
To live again or even just begin.
I feel so vile within.

Un-Father's Day, I've heard before
Of men like me who've suffered more.
I never understood, 'til now,
The lethal agony of broken vows.

God, if You're there,
I pray You'll answer every prayer
Of men like me. We're so alone and we
Feel prayers are garbled messages
Of futility.

And Jesus said unto them When ye pray, say,
'Our Father
which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins;
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.'
Amen ~ meaning so be it.
