I take a pause to write these words,
to say what's on my mind;
To tell you 'bout a man I know
with strength so near divine.
He's quite amazing in each way,
a beacon on life's shore;
He stands alone no matter what,
his goal, to serve my Lord!
He follows close when God commands
for him to do his part;
In everything he does his best,
in life, He's left his mark.
I'm blessed to not just know this man,
he raised me from a lad;
You see, he's so much more to me,
my father, friend, and dad!
He raised me right to know the way,
to God, the narrow path;
He prayed those times I ran so hard
for God to spare His wrath!
I pray some way I've made him proud,
when time on earth is done;
I write these words to tell him now:
"I'm PROUD to be your son!"
Then when time comes, the roll is called,
the saints all gathered 'round;
I'll stand SO proud to see my Dad
receive each one his crowns!

I wrote this one as a tribute to the strongest most Godly man I know, My father. I love you dad!
