Title: To be a father Post by: willychuck on October 29, 2006, 06:06:38 PM What's it like to be a father
To be cherished and blessed, remembered and honored To be given the gifts of girls and of boys Celebrated with hugs, with food and with noise To be spoken of highly, esteemed by them all Seen as a legend, Paul Bunyan feet tall Not just a man that comes and that goes But part of their lives their heart and their souls I'll tell you what it's like if I can I don't deserve it for I'm just a man Their love and affection, their desires to please For these I'm unworthy and fall on my knees I cry to the One who shows me His ways By giving me children all of my days A "quiver full" or, so it is said A blessing for me from my toes to my head If I can show them the love they show free I'll be a father to them like He is to me By Bill DeCamp |
