Dear God, Thanks For My Dad
Dear God, Thank you for
giving me a wonderful Dad.
He made a living for Mom and me,
now I appreciate all that I had.

Back then, you seldom heard of
divorce or of fathers running away.
I believe that it was Satan who
caused mis-trust and ruined the day.

When I was a teenager, Dad talked to me a lot
about how boys should around girls act.
Boy, did I get lesson after lesson -
I found out that Dad's every word was fact.

Sometimes I watched him praying alone;
He had a very special love for the Lord.
Dad taught me to stay true to God
because my glory is in Heaven, where it is stored.
