Father, Thank You

Father, I admire your faith-anchored fortitude

Asserting your love-braced tenacity as the home’s pillar

Training me to face life’s challenges

Hoisting me up to where I am today…

Ever grateful am I to God for having you as my Dad*

Rejoicing for your legacy in my life!

*Proverbs 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
