Fatherhood
Fatherhood
Becoming a father, don't take it for granted
It's very important, this seed you have planted
Will take on new life, and a soul of its own
Everyone knows, you must reap what you've sewn
The Lord has a part, in creating this life
You'll answer to him, when you enter the light
He places upon you, a very large weight
To fail him now, the consequence great
The rewards are greater, far from mild
He relies on you, to guide this child
Teach moral and value and always to seek him
For if they do not, their future may be grim
Such an honor it is, God gave you this duty
For when done right, there will be so much beauty
The seed you have sewn, you will see come to bloom
You'll be able to notice, from across the room
The fruits of your labor, oh how they glow
They grow up so fast, so soon you will know
How it was worth, the sacrifice
Enough that you would do it twice
Don't ever act like, your child is a bother
God doesn't view that, as being a father
Be patient and strong, and also forgiving
So the bond that you share, will be ever living
Then you will know, you've done as you should
If you trust God to guide you, through fatherhood
