A father's hands provide well for his family,
In quiet strength he leads and he protects.
Gently he guides, builds up, gives affirmation,
Each child in truth and tenderness corrects.
A father's soul is blessed with joy and gladness
He sees each one with tender eyes of love.
He finds new strength while listening, talking, praying
With God, His heavenly Father up above.
A father's heart is open wide for others.
He shares his faith and is a loyal friend.
Gives of himself in ways one cannot measure,
Is patient, kind, each quarrel he will mend.
A father's love, a precious, treasured blessing!
It gives assurance for the trials children face.
It gives assurance for the trials children face.
It conquers fear, gives strength for every testing.
May you always know his love, his heart of grace!

ReplyDeleteAMEN to what Karin said! And that was a wonderful poem of hers (assuming that she is the Karin who wrote it)!
