My Arrival Has Come

by

Daniel Chapa

My arrival has come
Much to my surprise
The baggage that I carry
Still dripping from my eyes

I remember what you did
The things you took away
Remaining shadows still follow me
They make my footsteps say

"I must avenge my son"
"I must avenge my son"
Never allow forgiveness
Until the wrath has come

Lord I’ve waited many hours
A moment near this present power
I fought against the skies above
To stand atop this ivory tower

I have finally ascended
We stand here face to face
We see my worthless anger
Acknowledge a life of waste

Much to my surprise
There is compassion in your eyes
I feel relaxation with each breath
As you peel away my pride

You pry apart my fingers
Clenched into a fist
You lead me by the hand
Aware of the son I miss

Taken to meet a person
I shake his healthy hand
I remember a younger me
As I met this full grown man

Though its been many years
He remembers me with a smile
Anthony pulls me to his chest
And holds me close for awhile

A gentle touch from Yahweh
Interrupts the long embrace
I feel a rush of satisfaction
Which has washed across my face

Although I had to wait
Many years just to speak
A moment with my son in heaven
Has made my soul complete.
