Special Music Video…glorious unfolding (with steve curtis chapman)



Gets to me every time.
Quiet, organized Den.
Dad’s Den.
Posthumously.
On the table his Last Will.
Daughter almost afraid to
Examine.
Inside an airline ticket
To England, Scotland, northern isles.


And a clue wandering challenge
London, Midlands, Edinburgh
Eilean Donan, Skye, the Shetlands.
Guidance lodged covertly
In cardboard notes and fixtures
Inside fittings of a bench
A telephone booth
A cairn of Scottish stones, etc.


Each spot includes a photo
Of the next stop-over.
Daughter is led to the very northern tip.
All smiles and energy.
Her own camera ready and active.


Remember Dad did all
Of this trip before her
Fun loving sorta guy
Loving the adventures of travel.
Loving travel photography.
Thinking out a
Spectacular Plan.


The final note she discovers.
“Let the Father lead the way
Always. He has the best.
See you soon Sweetheart.”

“Just you wait and see
And you will be amazed.
…Just the beginning
Of the Beginning.”


Amen.
