My dad Said Poet

I pressed my dad on
Whether I was a dreamer 
Or a poet. I
Know I sin in calling him
That, but Jesus meant

Not to make him or
Anyone a god. So I
Do not. 

                He said I
Was a poet. 


                     I look for
Auspicious tidings from God.

My dad's exact words
Were that, "I didn't write fluff,
But reality."

I have obtained my
Blessing. A poet is meant
To write poetry.
