Boasting About Dad
“My Daddy’s profession is the highest!”…
bragged a boy during oration contest
“…He soars up above the sky
and that we cannot deny---
since he does fly as pilot in his best.”
“Indeed, my Father’s work ranks the greatest!”…
boasted next lad with his gesturing zest
“Pilots seek him --- not defy
they can’t lift their heads to sigh
favoring his barber’s cut, so finest.”
With our heavenly Father*, we are blest
Being His children, lovingly dearest
Never bidding us good bye
Lifting faith, trust and hope high
Settled in His compassion’s gracious nest.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. (Third stanza added on March 2, 2022.)
