I AM A CHILD OF LOVE

I am a child of love.
My father is not in heaven above.
He’s not dead, he’s not deceased –
he lives on earth and is a priest.

I’m not allowed to say his name,
the church considers me a shame.
The love between two people cost
my happiness - and I feel lost.

Other people call him Father
They hold his hand, give him a kiss.
With me – he does not bother
and no one sees
how much I miss.

It’s not in order, it’s not right
to push a child like me aside.

So, God in Heaven, help me fight
and give a priest the right
to live a human life again –
AMEN

It´s a wonderful, truly poem, which shows, that every girl (or boy) needs not only a mother, but a father. Even if he´s a priest. Is this really th etruth, dear Patty? Kind regards from Rainer.

Dear Patty,

I feel depply with you. Your own father a priest, who does not know the word forgiveness. What does he preach
in church ?

Best regards,

Wir sind alle Kinder der Liebe Patty. Dies Gott bezogen!
Da gibt´s einen beglückenden Spruch „Ehelichen – Unehelichen“ Kindern bezogen.

Oft sind die ersten Produkte von alltäglichen Nachtabläufen - Langeweile und die zweiten
„Ein Ergebnis einer Nacht der Liebe“!!! Ich glaube mit grinsen versteht mich meine liebe Pattymaus

A beautiful poem and so true. It's a great pity nowadays that such children have to suffer becaue of their parents.
