Fatherhood

We have been given a job like no other.

God has called each of us to be a father.

We strive to the best of our ability,

To fulfill this awesome responsibility.

Our Heavenly Father has set the example.

Love and grace and compassion are just a sample,

Of the many blessings He has given to us.

And the children He has given us in trust.

For all His gifts we thank our Father above.

Will we be faithful to follow Him in love?

Will we raise our children to love and honour God?

Will we be true while this earthly path we trod?
