Poem
HI DAD Joseph was chosen by God himself, To be the Father of His Son on earth. He prayed in the temple and asked, Why me, what is my worth? Jesus honored his earthly father, Did what He was told. Lived his youth as a carpenter, As was custom in days of old. We never knew the love, Of a father and his son. His quiet manner and what he said, Were not always the same as one. There is no penalty, For not knowing a father's love. He lives a life mysterious, So we turn to God above. There is no reward for fatherhood, No medals, plaques or praise. Just a world of responsibility, For a family he must raise. A father must be an example, Be charitable, strong and true. Reverent to his Lord, Pass these traits on to you. The sacred books are full of quotes, Of what a father should be. But we are only human, Our errors visible for all to see. So as this Father's Day approaches, A child must determine what it is. Did we teach you love and honor, Is God your guide, are you one of His? May your children show you honor, May they love you for who you are. May you be proud to have this family, Whether they be near or far. RAYMOND V. MORGAN
