Father

I have been blessed to be a father,
A blessing like no other.
I take this trust and hold it to my heart,
And have asked for Your guidance from the start.

You are the example I look to,
Knowing that I should follow and do.
Fathers lead the home, and I pray,
That You will help me lead from day to day.

So many fathers have left their post,
And it has been when they are needed most.
Father, hold this father to this sacred trust,
And help me to not be drawn away by lust.
