A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER
Lenard Elbert Griffis Sr.
June 18th, 1921 to Feb 26th , 1996
|
Heavenly Father, I thank you,
I do
For giving me an earthly father
who was so much like you.
Yes, so much of your likeness
in him I did see.
He taught me values
that are for eternity.
Yes, my name to your throne
he did bring each day.
He yearned that
I would follow your way.
The life he lived showed me
in you I could trust.
And to place my treasures in
Heaven where they would never rust.
So many memories,
too numerous to repeat...
But today I bow
and worship at your feet.
Someday I'll be at home with you
and see you face to face...
Then I'll thank you that
through my earthly
father
I saw and was touched
by your
Amazing Grace.
My father left us a legacy in poems that he wrote. I was compiling a
book of them for my mother. The night before Father's Day I could not sleep. I
finally had to get up, grab a pencil and paper, and write this poem in honor of
him. It is very special to me as it commemorates a very important influence in
my life. It also commemorated the countless other lives he touched. This is a
way of immortalizing his life and sharing him with the world. I hope that others
who have special people in their lives can relate to my love for him, and
perhaps share my poem with their loved ones.
