FORGIVE YOUR FATHER

Underneath the endless sky, where the river runs deep and wide

It's a peaceful scene I want to see.

There you sit in that old boat, mystery cloaked in shaded brim

River whispers tales of hope, but I see anger lurking within

Sun above and birds that sing, nature’s chorus plays along

Yet your silent, bitter storm disrupts the river’s gentle song

God’s gaze from heaven above hears the anger you cast aside

Your fathers love steady and strong, trying hard to be your guide, but you won't listen to the rivers song

Ode to the man who brought me here to flow with the river, please quit your fears.

Respect your father, my darling dear, though your anger may be strong, you hear the rivers song. Quit your mind, quiet your anger

Listen to the river’s call, to the whisper of the trees

One day, your fathers voice will fade away, so embrace him and sit together, be patient, hear the rivers song

Some cast stones with love and hate, some cast a humble line, and patiently wait

But you chase a different path, with feelings hard to define

Fears and temper, heart of steel, trying to hide the rives song

Father’s face, steady gaze, his sad eyes, you can see him pray

God’s gaze from heaven above hears the anger you can't aside

So talk to your father, face your fears, and quiet the storm inside your soul. Forgive your father,

Forgiveness flows like streams, let love be your guide, be patient with him

Patience, kindness, gentle words, the river knows your father too,

One day in silent repose, we’ll all drift apart, so forgive your father, so he can calm his heart

So hear the water’s gentle song, let peace lift you both higher. The river keeps on flowing, underneath the open sky, Cherish every moment now, for time will pass you by, be kind to your father, mend his broken heart, he knows that yours is broken too.....

in the end, it’s love that remains, like the endless sky, I believe you two can mend. So silence your mind to hear the rivers song again, talk it out because your father won't be here long...so please, please, please ........ forgive your father, , and quietly hear the rivers song...

Because in one day your father will be gone...
