A Father : Chiasmus Poetry

You're Strong and Brave
And true to friend
You gave us hope and live with strength
You do all things with faith and Love
Surely you'll live with guidance above.

You're Strong -
even the strongest winds of trial
All past by, and you still prevail
Never mind the sword, never mind their words
Stick together, hold together, be strong all hail.

And Brave -
As an eagle that watches their territory
Enemies were scared, that you found your glory

And true to friend -
though they are not;
You still keep your words if they cannot

You gave us hope - You're kind to all
"I'm proud of my son"
"You did your best, the task is done."

You lights up our understanding
"That's not fair, be God Fearing."

Live with strength -
"In God, nothing is Impossible"
Use your knees, that strengthens all.
Don't walk with pride, my son be just.
For if you fail; Your Strengths? That's Last.

You do all things with faith -
Choose "Be believing", or "belief is leaving"
think positive, must not have doubt
for fear is present, then faith is out.

You do all things with love -
Reminding us to love our Brothers
Be true and care your mother.
For if you do, they return it back to you .

Your Love, is precious than Gold.
For without it, we all fail and nothing to hold.
You're not lovable, no not in your view.
But in the middle of our dark Reasons
There still remain your love without seasons.

Surely you'll live with guidance above -
For Father you are there
As heaven who always care.
