    My Father Smiled At Me Today

    As the sun came up

    His smile shone bright

    And then even brighter

    As he looked at me

    My Father smiled at me today.

     

    Blinding was the intensity

    Warm and soothing it was

    Soft and bright

    Me, chosen from many

    My Father smiled at me today.

     

    At times he seems so far

    And others so close

    Like I am the only one

    Like he loves me the most

    My Father smiled at me today.

     

    He embraced me in his arms

    Safe and secure in his promise

    Loving in spite of myself

    Wealthy beyond belief

    My Father smiled at me today.

    Love the idea that we are each one special and blessed. Very well done. Particularly like the second stanza.

    Heartfelt and inviting. It embodies just the shaddows of the completeness we've yet to experience in eternity. "Please Father I want more" ... comes next, I'm thinking. NICE.

    Actually, the sun was just up and bright; it was a beautiful day and the sun reminded of God in all His Glory. The more I thought of it, the brighter it shone and it seemed like I was the only one experiencing it. So, with the joy I felt in this beautiful morning resulted in this poem.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
