An ode to my father

All your forebodings
Never occur.
All your fears
Are never realised.
There must be
A deep a Truth
In your heart
That steers
My destiny.
You would 
Never.
Never.
Never.
Let me suffer.
Vigilance.
Protection.
Security.
And faith.
Belief.
In my strength.
Your love
Unconditional. 
Your demeanor
Noble.
Your care
Maternal.
More mother
To me
Than any mother.
Kindest.
Bravest.
Sweetest.
Of wisdom
So deep
I was
Befuddled.
Now I understand
Why you do
What you do.
My saviour.
My Wellest Friend. 
Love so sure
That it anchors
My soul
To this world
And beyond
And right at
Your sweet
Feet.
