So I sat on my bed <br />And the thoughts flooded my head <br />I wondered what I did wrong <br />That the boy I loved would not love me back.... <br /> <br />Dad came in and sat beside me <br />Tears streaming down my face <br />I told him my story of rejection <br />Dad, its makes no sense <br /> <br />He pulled me in his arms <br />Held me close to his chest <br />and said 'my love, you are beautiful' <br />his voice the sweetest i have ever heard <br />reassuring, comforting, and I was secure <br /> <br />All in one moment I knew I was loved not on merrit <br />but by grace <br />By my father's word's i was restored <br />Made whole in 5 words and 1 action <br /> <br />Its a memory I shall never forget, <br />A memory that is living <br />everytime i feel crushed by this world <br />I think about my DAD and how he defined me that day, <br /> <br />Looking my worst, mascarra running down my cheeks, <br />My Dad's voice strengthed me, I knew I was loved! ! <br />Thank you Dad, you are my hero, my best friend, my everything. <br />Thank you that you never left me alone! !<br /><br />Melissa Desiree Reddy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fathers-heart/
