There is a lot of talk about fathers today
Godly men, good role models, abusive or absentee
I am thankful for what my dad’s life had to say
About the kind of person he wants me to be
For his example was his Heavenly Father
Full of joy and the wisdom that we seek
Who sacrificed everything to make us better
Who disciplines with love and mercy
A forgiving Father who requires our best
Let me be that kind who loves unconditionally
Relying on His Word to pass life’s tests
And share with my children His Gift of eternity
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
Psalms 127:3-5 (ESV)
