Ninety-two Years (Poem for My Father)
Donald P James Sr - March 5, 1925 - June 21, 2017 Ninety-two years, Normandy, Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, brother, hero, husband and father. A voice for those who were silent. Ninety-two years, most spent in machine shops defending your country as you did when storming beaches. A supporter of the few rights in the world. Ninety-two years, under the gaze of God, knowing the cross, questioning the temples and following faith where it led. Father, dad, someone I could talk of Notre Dame football with and then the challenges of knowing Christ. A man whose faults were human and gifts were sacred. Father, dad, the icon standing taller than I. Ninety-two years, an example of light shining out through the shadows of life. copyright 2017 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author A Collection of Writings from the Pen of the Spirit of the Handicapped Free download on Draft 2 Digital Letters From the Spir...
