You are the lending.
Shield and sword, majestic lord,
my strength, my hope, my happy ending.
You,
the wall that cannot fall,
the tree that stands against my storm,
my gale.
You hold your form
when words impale
your heart.
When I alone am blown apart,
you are my mending.
Pain I never was intending,
you endure.
Your love is sure
when I am condescending.
You,
the reed unbending,
my refuge
from the flood impending,
my flesh and blood.
You watched me flower
from a bud,
believed me when I was pretending.
Father,
when you are gone,
who’ll sing this song
to where you go?
You
are
my
life
How will I know
the way
to do the sending?
Thank you for lending the lending

BIG LIKE
Thank you so much for that, PS
A lump in my throat, is not always so bad.
In this instance, it is both happy and sad. 🌈🙏🏼
My dear, softhearted poetess,
some things cannot be denied;
for, I must truthfully confess
you’ve touched me deep inside.
Carefully, while considering You,
your dad was one helluva guy.
Saying this, I swear that it’s true,
’cause no one’s LIKE you, is why.
What else could I say about him,
when you reflect much that he was.
Times he made you sink or swim,
shines out in all your poetry does.
DK 💫
Soft, velvet rose, emblem of his soul, Freestyle poetry with pure intermittent, intertwining rhymes in symbolic homage to your tender, lasting bond … what else can I possibly offer to equal this sheer wondrous beauty in feeling that exceeds the meager reach of my words … your “Lending” heart-touching poem has inspired?
What else to share, but Love for You ‘n Your Dad! ⁓ Richard 💛
You are so sweet, Richard. I would melt in your big Texas arms. I actually wrote this on Father’s Day a few years ago. Thank you for this amazing review. I’m speechless. You blow me away, baby.
