A FATHER AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

As the years have passed, I've watched this man.
Give to his children unconditionally from his hand.
His prayers never did cease for each of them day and night
Praying for them to be blessed and to always do what's right.

And as I watched him  again on this Father's day
Think not of himself but for his children he prayed.
Regardless of the love he's received in return.
Or the many times his love toward them may have been spurned.

He still loves them each with an unending fervor.
He never gives up, and perseveres unlike any other.
I've watched him as he tears up over the love he has inside
He grieves and rejoices over every circumstance in their lives.

He's never been one to show emotion that his children can see.
Though behind the scenes I've witnessed his generosity.
He would give anything and everything for each child
His love touches me and in my heart makes me smile.

So proud I am to be married to such a wonderful man.
One blessed by God and touched by His loving hand.
I thank God each day for blessing our family with him.
A father after God' s own heart, and a wife's very best friend.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY HUSBAND LLOYD
