Fathering

I got to be a jerk today,
I'm really glad I was
I stood for truth, I stood for right.
I stood with God, because,
My son- he needs a father
Not a friend who lets him whine.
He needs a man who stands against his rude, obnoxious times.
I'm sorry for the moment's pain
I'm glad for what it buys
For one day not too far from now,
God will make him good and wise.

My son may be a champion, a leader for some cause,
I want to shape and form him so his life is spent for God.
He may be a missionary, or he may guard our coasts.
He may play the violin, be a running back, or both!
