Papa's Bible Poem by Ezna Stephna

Papa's Bible

Rating: 5.0


Papa's Bible, so ragged and worn
Its pages are rip and torn.
It’s been around for ages, he had it for years
Some pages encrusted by dust and some by his tears

The name on the cover is pale, it's true.
There might be a page misplaced, or two.
To look at that book one might ridicule and scowl
they may say, 'Why? There’s no use in keeping it around.

'A new Bible, I'm confident, is what you must want
with pages so perfect and pictures in reality.'
But friends I recovered and I'm here to convince
There's more in this ``Bible`` more than I can declare.

For he read it and held it so close to his heart
its familiarity and perception and adore to impart.
He detained it so tightly throughout his life
ever much closer than his children

His faith can be seen on each page and each line
His reading of voice you can hear time to time
He carried it high through his way out
So proud of the ``Holy Scriptures`` contained within.

Of all of the treasures in this world we can embrace
The Bible of my dearest papa so raggedy and old.
Is far more precious than any other for me
for it was given to him by his dear mother to be.
Who gave him shelter and life to be him

No memory is more precious, none that I hold so dear
When the storms of my life bring me much fear
The vision of my dearest papa and the love on his face
I can remember his strong hand he hold me tight
To carry me church for the morning mass
He said my dear child live in spiritually path

He taught me sing and pray to Lord Almighty
The precise remembrance of him all I have each day
I remember when papa would sing 'Amazing Grace``

This Poem I wrote on my Papa’s Birthday!
I miss you so so so much ~~~My Dearest Papa!
