Father Where Are Thou Poem by D Loveday Morris

Father, Where are thou?
Is a poem inspired by the streets and a portion of street art seen in Manchester UK today

Oh my father, where are thou?
I searched and you weren't there
On river banks, green fields and slumps
I couldn't find you anywhere

I stand here alone
Sore, bleeding, broken bones
Waiting for you to come
How do I suppress my childhood heart's regret
Knowing that you are gone?

Oh my Father which art in heaven
I know that you are near
In nature you speak and bring relief
And the heaven seas do cool my grief

Now I lay down to sleep
I can rest in sweet peace
My father in heaven gives me rest
To awake rejuvenated and tackle any stress
