My Father

Just over sixty-three years ago

You say I may have been

Conceived by a father

I do not know



You say coming home

One night late

Your were attacked and raped.



I know this was

A heavy burden to bear

A shame, if it is true.

I don't care.



I hope the burden

is lifted and you are

past it, now that I know.



Thank you for not aborting

This life to let me live.



My father on earth,

my life he gives,

the other supported

me with food and cup,



But it was you who

Introduced me to

My Heavenly Father

Who can raise me up.



The one gave me birth,

The other loved me on this earth,

But it was the Father in Heaven

Whose love gives my life worth.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Who is my real father...the only one I am sure of, is God the father of all.
