"A father's day"
Father's day is a special day, it's meant to honor dad.
I can't imagine growing up without the father I had.
He taught me how to be humble, he taught me when to be proud.
He taught me to pray in silence, and he taught me how to preach loud.
If I could have my choice, and choose any kind of dad I desire.
I would choose one who preaches love, always mentioning hellfire.
I would like a Dad who knows what he believes,
One who never compromises, and is always bringing in the sheaves.
I would like him to be humble, maybe have a little pride.
Teach me how to clean the outside, through Jesus I have inside.
I'd like to always know how much my father loved me,
and when ever that I failed, he still wasn't ashamed to hug me.
It would be nice to have a dad like that, wouldn't you agree.
Friend you already would, if only you were me.
Can you imagine it how it feels, on that special day.
For father's all around the world, who will all kneel down to pray.
They'll pray for each of their kids, and name them one by one.
Jocelyn, Jasmine, Jackie, and Joshua my only son.
Can you imagine what it feels like not knowing if they're ok??
Hoping they are alright, Crying for them every time you pray.
Not able to even see them, or talk to them at all.
Staying up late nights, still hoping one of them will call.
In 390 days, that has felt like 100 years.
I have filled up countless gallons of God's bottles with my tears.
But what I feel is tough, compared to some it's only mild.
Forget being the Dad, can you imagine being the child!
