Sacrificing the Boy

Father was full of surprises.

He tiptoed on autumn's leaves so his soul wouldn't crumble.

Discovered in a black filled night he caved in to the would be assailant.

Rising higher into the stranger's arms he felt the warmth of a tickle

from his father's charm.

Higher and higher well over Dad's head

hurled upon sudden rock

He knew his fate was dead.

Thanks Silver. I didn't realize the biblical relationship. Dad was not a church goer. He sinned to terms of fatherhood.

Reminds me of Abraham and Isaac... and posted on a Sunday no less... ;)
