Sheltered



Sheltered
Love, Papa.

As swiftly as the wind changes direction
Life can turn on a dime.
First leading you one way,
Then suddenly another.
Following can be difficult at times.
But then so can walking into the hurricane.
Be guided by that which calls your name,
But remember sounds can travel on the wind.
Listen to that which speaks to your heart.
Sheltered from the storm that surrounds.
Love, Papa.

Please share Papa with those you love.

A Simple Touch



A Simple Touch
Love, Papa.

A gentle brush as you pass by
Reached out from another soul.
Feelings felt deep within
That sense of strength and peace.
Ever present, deeply grounded,
Always willing to share
With each that passes by.
Forever attached to all that is
Yet there for all to see.
Love imparted everywhere
Cloaked in the body of a tree!
Have you touch your tree today?
Love, Papa.


Please share Papa with those you love.

Close at Hand



Close at Hand
Love, Papa.

A slip of the tongue
Says more about you
Than the words
You prepared to say.
For there is always
A sign, a clue or a tip
That indicates the truth,
In everything that is spoken.
As each word uttered
Contains a thread
Leading directly to the heart of the matter.
Speak gently,
Listen carefully,
The truth lies close at hand.
Love, Papa.

Please share Papa with those you love.

Role



Role
Love, Papa.

The script has been written.
The set arranged.
Cast and crew assembled.
As the cameras roll
The scene unfolds
And magic becomes reality.
Life is a team sport
When each plays their role.
Yet none need ever leave your mind!
Love, Papa.


Please share Papa with those you love.

Diversity



Diversity
Love, Papa.

Measure what you know,
Not what you think you don’t know.
Your value is measured by diversity not conformity.
It is never too late for YOU to come calling.
Love Papa
Abridged #543

Please share Papa with those you love.

Change:



Change:
Love, Papa.

Change:
Demands a shift of conscience.
A new attitude.
Distinct intention.
Immense desire.
Determination.
And belief.
Not for the faint of heart
Nor the weak of will
Change may challenge all your mettle,
For none become so complacent
As those unwilling to see beyond the walls of comfort.
Move yourself to change
And become what brought you to this world.
To your final breath
Whenever it shall taunt
Fear not to throw down your gauntlet
And embrace...
Change!
Love, Papa.
