Unseen Father-By Susan Thomas

I have never seen your tender face

Never felt your skin against mine

Never heard your voice

Never looked into your eyes

Never looked upon you with my eye

Though you can’t be seen

Felt

Or heard

I sense your love

I sense your protection

I sense your forgiveness

I look back

And see how often

You walked me through dark times

You gently led me

Down my destined path

Gave me your love

Blessed me with wonderful people

With a beautiful life

I can’t see you

But embrace you

Keep a place for you in my heart

I can’t see you

But see your precious work

Every day when I see

My sleeping son

I see your work

When I admire a tree

Or a flower

I may not see you

But you see me
