This was written January 25, 2009 the day after my dad Emanuel Farcas died of an anurism at age 46.... this is for him... my true hero and inspiration for so much of my writing and stories.... miss you daddy!
IN MY FATHER'S EYES
In my father's eyes...
That were so deep and blue,
I saw the mystery explained..
Of the Saviour's love
In my father's eyes...That were so warm,
I saw a selfless sacrifice...
I saw unconditional forgivenss..
I saw the Holy Spirit living deep within his soul.
In my father's eyes...
I saw the fire of true passion,
For the broken,
For the hurting,
For the lonely,
For those forgotten,
For the lost,
For the homeless,
For the hopeless...
Through my father's eyes...
I learned to see Jesus,
I learned to live for Him.
Through my father's voice
I learned to make a choice
And stand for what is right,
Through my father's voice
I learned to tell the truth,
I learned to speak for those who can't
To defend the broken and the weary...
My father...
Dear sweet daddy...
Papa...
Tati...
Rest now daddy...
Rest in the Father's arms untill He calls us too...
Rest now daddy,
And look into your FATHER'S eyes.
And there the reflection will be of us, longing to join you.
