a man eliminating the less
to my brother Moises Romero…your presence and love of Christ is such a gift…you truly personify every word of this poem!
he said my name from God
is Father of the fatherless
in that moment
i didn’t know how he does this
except now i know
bc this man is filled with the power
of Jesus
he is a man on a mission of elminating
the less
in the fatherless
he goes by the name Moises
meaning Moses
what an appropriate name
for a man with such humility in his heart
i mean filling a room with the Lord’s spirit
is truly one of his greatest
arts
God shaped this treasure of a man into
an eliminator of the less
through first his trials and tribulations
of feeling what it means to at times
be fatherless
wondering why a human man could ever
leave a son
but through it all Moises always knew
our Lord our God
was there as his father
and the closer he got to Jesus
the more he turned any bitterness he had
into forgiveness
he crucified his sense of lack
into a life of i got your back
and left behind the pain of shame
for new life through the power of our
heavenly Father’s Holy name
because God was preparing Moises
to be his instrument
of eliminating the less
in fatherless
so when news came that his brother
would spend a life behind bars
Moises was ready to make sure
just like Jesus he would never turn away
from his blood, his brother
because he always wanted him
be in a presence of God’s witness
when they talk as brothers
and he sees is brother with
eyes like Jesus
for a moment the prison bars are removed
a man feels free
and the father lesslonger feel
the less
they just feel the care and protection
of a man they call
father of the fatherless
now Moises gets to bring this
care and protection to his dreams and work
his craft of making coffee
but it is so much more than a cup
so much more than a sale
so much more than an occupation
because God uses this man’s vocation
as a minister and filler of your
spiritual cup
he is a presence of joy, peace, gentleness
and never ending kindness
a man on a mission to ensure no one feels
like an other
because their eyes are fixed on you, our Lord, our God
our one true and greatest Father
a man on a mission wherever he walks
to honor God and stand in the gap
making sure no one is missed
so once again my brother
i shake your hand in awe
how you never stop eliminating the less
you truly are
a father
of the fatherless
