My Journey to God

A Tribute to My Father

God gave you to me on the day of my birth
To show me His Love while I lived on this earth.

A mission you carried on shoulders so strong,
As you taught me the lessons of what’s right and what’s wrong.

And at night when I came to you with my fears, you would say
Trust in Him as I do for all of your days.

And with these words you did indeed impart
A faith within me that remains in my heart.

A faith that has carried me through all of my needs,
A faith that you taught me by your own words and deeds.

On the day of my birth I know that God knew
That I would thank Him always for the blessing of you.
