About 10 minutes ago, my co-worker (and former classmate) Treasie asked me to write a poem for her dad’s appreciation this Sunday. IN TEN MINUTES FLAT, here’s what God gave me (centering around his name Earnest Lee Lane)!
I don’t like to brag, but even I am FLABBERGASTED at how God put this one together – especially since I don’t know him and have never met him. WHOA!!!!

Subject: FOR TREASIE
Ever since I can remember, your love has been around
Always sharing wisdom, keeping me safe and sound
Ready to lead by example, the way a father does
Never passing judgment, but reaching out in love
Ever since I can remember, you’ve been a source of strength
Someone special in my life, who was truly Heaven sent
Time and years have passed, but our bond remains the same
Love is the first thing that comes to mind
Every time I hear your name
Ever since I can remember, you’ve been known for passing tests
Learning from past mistakes, and pushing us toward what’s best
Always being a Christian man, a man after God’s own heart
Never allowing the enemy’s tricks to tear you or our family apart
Ever since I can remember, you’ve been a big part of my world
I count it an honor to know that I’m still “My Daddy’s Little Girl”!
