The Sins of the Fathers
“The Sins of the Fathers”
by Nicole Costa
The sins
Of
The fathers
Have fallen
Upon me
I may be through
With the past
But
The past
Is not through
With me
I’ve survived
So much
Chaos
The tragedies
The casualties
Now
I am here
To tell
The story
Of
The glory
Of
Creator
Who has
Prepared for me
A table
In the presence
Of
My enemies
So they all
Can see
The blessings
Raining down
On me
The rainbow
Is
A reminder
Of
The promise
That’s been made
A receipt of proof
That my debt
Has been paid
In full
Through
The Hard Knocks
School
Sometimes
The lesson
Is in
The blessing
Don’t take it
Personal
All will be
Tested
I wear my
Talisman
As a
Remembrance
Of
All the
Blood shed
Just to be
Present here
Of
All the
Tear drops
Fallen
Throughout
The years
I cry out
When will
The sins
Of
The fathers
Stop falling
Upon me
When suddenly
Pigeon
Descends
Right
Before me
She holds
In her mouth
The message
Of
The olive tree
She smiles
As she turns
Pointing me
To the sea
Whale’s tail
Is there
Reminding me
That only
The strength
Of
Love
Prevails
Restoring
All that’s
Beautiful
And
Good
In the world
My faith
My song
She says
The journey
Has been
Way too long
Finch is near
Joy is here
Love is now
Don’t be scared
Out of
The shadow
And
Into the sun
You will be
Raised up
In front of
Everyone
You think
Life is over
When really
It’s just begun
You’ve
Crossed over
Soldier
The war is
Finally done
You persevered
This is how
The victory’s won
Disarming
All the pain
Choosing
Peace
And
Love
For this
New reign
Your cup
Is
Overfull
Your scars
They are
Beautiful
I send them
Healing light
Each Tells
A story
Of
A fight
An enemy
In the night
A surgery
An accident
Overcoming
Battle fields
You are still here
What you
Think is
Imperfect
Is perfectly
Seamed
Preserved
For
A later time
By the hands
Of
Destiny
You can
No longer
Come
Undone
By the deeds
Of
Anyone
You are
Protected
Passed-over
They’ll know you
By your marks
You’ve done well
Good and faithful
Servant
You have
A
Pure and Honest
Heart
It’s now time
To fulfill your
Purpose
Receive your
Long awaited part
Not all Karma
Is
Heavy
And
Dark
This is
The fulfillment
Of
The vision
From your
Inner eye
Long ago
Your slice
Of
The pie
Has arrived
In season
Mango
It’s
The fruit
Of
Gods
Symbolizing
Fertility
Wealth
And
Abundance of love
Both
Here on earth
And
Eternal
Above
This is your
Highest union
Your final
Destination
Tearing
The veil
Of
Illusions
And
Limitations
From the top
Down
Into two
The gates are
Now open to you
To collect
The inheritance
You must first
Walk through
The stars all align
For
A permanent ascension
Leave the past behind
Shift
From the third
To the fifth
Dimension
A new covenant
Is in order
The Age of Aquarius
Has dawned
Mercury
Ends it’s retrograde
The new moon
Is here
To move you on
You have
Divine blessings
And
A blessing
From the Don
