A Father

“A Father”

How do you explain a father who has a loving heart of a saint?
Always patiently teaching us a good picture we should paint
Knowing from my first breath his love runs through my veins
Showing me with wisdom to rise above of all our pains
With unwavering faith he let me find my way
Keeping me fed and happy and supporting us everyday
Letting me do it my own way he let me play my song
Always seeing the good things in this world we all belong
Always telling us wisely it doesn’t matter what color or creed
Always putting us first and tending to our every need
I feel abundantly blessed having a father such as you
And there will always be a part of you in every good deed I might do
