Poetry: Returning to God

by Lyn Adaway

The Forgotten Father

.

The taught values have faded

And lessons of youth, gone.

Were they ever real, or

Just a fleeting illusion?

.

The universal Father, soon

Forgotten in this dimension,

And discarded from life,

Watches his children, in dismay.

.

The scattered siblings are

Living their own way

Riches they acquire, and

Claim the glory for them.

.

When all is lost, and

They are no longer sitting

In the catbird seat, they’ll

Seek the Father and ask, “Why?”

.

Just look in the mirror,

My friend, and there you

Will see who’s to blame

Staring back at you.
