A Fathers Helping Hand : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

It was within a quiet place

where my Father liked to dwell  .

It was there he found the storm of life

inside began to quell  .

He often took me with him there,

and to you a tale I'll tell ,

Of the day we went for a walk,

where the morning sunlight fell .

 

 

From Silverstream to Ballygomartin,

my Father and I ,

We climbed up the side of a mountain,

that almost touched the sky .

Then on the way back home ,

we found a  pigeon that couldn't fly .

Dad tucked it inside his coat pocket ,

where it was warm and dry .

 

As twilight fell down on Ligoniel ,

we made our way back home .

Then a cage he knocked together

for a bird we didn't  own   .

The with a splint bandage on its wing ,

we left it there alone ,

One day we said goodbye ,

as into the sky, the bird had flown .
