Growing up, young lad’s treasured dreams

Playing on big league baseball team

 

Fun-filled adventure marks most days

Journey’s actions conquer life’s maze

 

Thoughts of family seem remote

Happy to fish from Dad’s new boat

 

Learning life’s lessons on God’s watch

Scripture’s heroes always topnotch

 

Far too soon, years advance along

Melodies of love, life’s new song

 

Marriage joins young man with his bride

Sons and daughters, soon at their side

 

God’s fatherly lessons made clear

Maturity quiets each fear

 

Fatherhood blesses this Dad’s soul

Making him feel alive and whole

 

Collecting lifetime of keepsakes

Children love his homemade milkshakes

 

Years move quickly, home’s empty nest

Dad’s wisdom guides each child’s quest

 

Creating humbleness of heart

Fatherhood ignites life’s jumpstart
