Edition 244 – A Father Like You


A FATHER LIKE YOU


Fathers, I praise God for the men that you are. What a world it would be if every child had a father like you.

I wrote this poem in honor of you. I hope you know how incredibly blessed your children are to have you as their Dad!

A Father Like You

I wish every child a father like you

Devoted, committed, so righteous like you 

So Christ-loving, God-honoring, faithful, and true 

So sacrificial, hard-working, generous, and wise

Your courage and strength, your genuine ways

Who lays down his life, you strive every day 

Who does not conform to these woke worldly ways 

Who gives of his best, his child to prepare

Who patiently teaches, guides, and corrects 

Done with great care, God’s ways you impart

You fight for your faith, no matter how hard

 A light in this world, shows others Christ’s ways

You’re brave and tenacious, loving and kind

A man of integrity, leading the way

You’re one of the few, I praise God for you

I wish every child a father like you!

May God help you grasp how important and significant you are in your child’s life. You’re making an indelible impact on their precious lives. Keep up the great work!

Helping you become a Strong Disciple,

Because of Jesus,
Pastor Mark Darling
