Father's Faith


He watches
     through tears
     that will not
          stop
     his son
          drift
          away

His hand
     shakes so
          much
     knife held
          high
     above his
     son
          lying
          bound

His heart
     breaks
     holding
          the torn
          robe
     stained with
          blood
     his son
          gone

He watches
     love pierced
          hearing
          anguish
               abandon
     his son
          alone . . .

There is
     no greater
     love
          a Father’s
          painful
          release of
          son to
     what might be.

Father’s
     faith . . .
