Meet a Man of Asia In the Person of My Father

My Dad is an Asian, declared by his color and height... …since the supreme Lord has blessed him with that heritage Through such physique, he performs well by great faith’s might …that upholds his prayer life he regards as an advantage! He is my Daddy dearest, my human fortress… …who loves me, his darling daughter, as he trusts the Father’s grace. Assertively adamant is he when his point he can stress …yet readily laughs out loud when he loses in our debate-race. I delight in his prudent sense of humor... …with his wholesome jokes that need analyses His boyish looks (decades ago) earned my Mom’s favor …especially his mature perspective in facing crises. A champion in his family-roles’ fulfillment… …my Dad is a model of "the responsible provider" He is governed by his faithfulness’ commitment …and entitled with the award for "the steadfast home-builder!" I thank God for my father* and his pampering kindness… …but he has never “spoiled” me; that I can testify To the Almighty I entrust my Dad’s years-bountifulness… …for him to enjoy His goodness as His name he does magnify! *Psalm 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
