Surrender Father, Your Son's Teaching Tongue, like wings Lifts me to my "Why?" Why am I here? He calls me: To open my will's fists and Hand over my will to Your Will.-- surrender. Too ofen my will snares me in icy traps or Bullies me like a cannibal demon or Sounds over Your Voice --excuses, excuses, excuses. While surrender, the earth-home of libery and joy, That raises me from walking the soul-streets Lonely like an alien in exile. Father, Grace me That I mingle my will wih the Gethsemane Jesus and Pray:
"Not my will, but thine be done. |

About the Poet
I am 79 years of age. For the past nine years I have been retired, after forty years, from the field of alcoholism and drug abuse in New York City.
I am married and we have two grown sons
and two grand-sons.
My life changed through a grace-experience in 1967.
Writing Christian prayers is a particular interest of mine. This came about by a growing awareness of the
spiritual in recovery from addictions.
I choose, intellectually and emotionally, to believe the Triune God of the Sared Scriptures as my Healer.
