Verse 1
********
"As a father . . .
goes forth each day
to find the means
to teach, to love
to forgive, to understand
to correct, to refine
must we seek to be
for our children
need the strength
of another
to define their person
for if not from us
then they will define
the who and what
from a world
that teaches
no right or wrong
no white or black
no good or evil
|
Verse 2
********
and when these
attributes are taught
we find withered
our children
sad and alone
for life without meaning
without clear definition
and understanding
is not life, but death
and this is not the plan
so we too
must find the means
to teach, to love
to forgive, to understand
to correct, to refine
to go forth each day
and love
as the Father . . ."
