Embrace the new year and hold to a love that transcends all boundaries – A Poem

In shadows cast by absence, I began my quest,  
A father’s love elusive, yet I sought the best.  
My mother, strong and virtuous, her heart a guiding light,  
Filled our lives with warmth and hope, through every day and night.

Like Jesus, born of Mary, a miracle so grand,  
I wandered through this world, held by a greater hand.  
He spoke of God as Creator, a love that knows no bounds,  
In every whispered prayer, His presence can be found.

As a child, I turned to spirit, in silence sought my peace,  
In moments filled with longing, my heart found sweet release.  
Though trivial were my wishes, each plea met with grace,  
A father’s love, though absent, filled every empty space.

From dust, the tale of Adam, a bond that’s deep and true,  
No earthly father needed, just the divine in view.  
In recognizing our origin, we share a sacred thread,  
A spark of life within us, where love and hope are bred.

Though challenges surrounded, my mother’s love remained,  
In loss, I found a blessing, a heart that’s uncontained.  
The void once felt as sorrow, transformed into a song,  
A spiritual connection, where I’ve always felt I belong.

Reflecting on this journey, the love I sought was here,  
In every step and heartbeat, my path became so clear.  
Just as Jesus drew strength from the heavens up above,  
I learned to lean on faith, a boundless, endless love.

This tale of love and loss, a testament I share,  
To those who feel the absence, know the divine is there.  
In every heart that’s broken, in every tear that falls,  
The love beyond all measure, forever gently calls.
