Unconditional Love

Half my life, I have failed
Failed in impressing my father
Although my life was already planned and made
I have but drifted further

I was lost and weary somewhere
Then He came and me He carried
That time, to me He was a stranger
Not knowing that He was my Father

He offered me a gift that could give me life
A life to spend fully with Him
With every promise of a Father’s love
He offered me complete guidance and protection

I did not understand at first
But in His arms I felt His love
He told me He died for me
Just to save me from a grave defeat

I was touched
In His arms I cried and asked why
A hand brushed the tear on my right cheek
He said, “is it enough that I love you so much”?

I accepted His gift and told him not to leave again
I called Him father and a smile crawled His face
He replied that he never left me once
Then I knew the pain He felt when I forgot about him.
