today i tried to slip on my Fathers coat, a heavy weight with shoulders straight, it bent down almost to my waist. encloaked and wrapped, i wore His hat, and sat and ate like Him, then i drank and sipped and thanked and then i sipped again. i waived a hand, and wrote a check, jotting down an note… but all along it wasn’t Him, it was jut my Father’s clothes so i tried to shout like Him, and then i called his friends, and with them i could act like Him but they know it’s just pretend. and i tasked to write like Him and sing like He would do, yet i only wrote my name i only sang my tune. so i tried to give like Him, i scraped and lost and bled, i showed my love to others yet they only said, “that love, my boy, it looks like you, my boy, that isn’t Him.” so i, defeated, lonely still, packed the clothes, finished the notes, and gave my goals away. only then as a naked boy did i hear my Father say, “where are you, where are you? My son, My own? I’ve found My things scattered everywhere
