THE HEART OF A FATHER

The heart of a father

Is a shepherd’s touch;

It guides and leads

And it loves very much.

It is strong and courageous

And it always stands firm;

It disciples and it teaches

So the young hearts can learn.

Its priorities are right

As it’s selfless in deeds;

It provides and it nurtures

For desires and needs.

It is warm and so caring

Render with its flock;

It ensures its safety

And that none become lost.

It’s a perfect role model

Raising boys with much strength;

To be wise and mature

And to care at great lengths.

As our Father in Heaven

Shares His mantle with men;

He distributes His nature

So they can represent Him again.

How sweet is God’s heart

As it’s reflected in fathers,

When they fulfil their given roles

Towards their family and others.

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.” John 10:14

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17
