My Father - writen for my daughter

I look around me in sadness and tears
Seeing all my friends celebrating
The wonderful joys their father brings.
My heart heavy in sadness
Feeling as a outcast
Wishing I had that great gift
A father - how special they are
Why can't there be one that loves me.

But wait at last I look up and see
Can it be - I have a Father
How could I of been so blind
I didn't see
He has always been there for me.
He is the strongest and the wisest
No other compare
He is my father for Eternity.

My Father guides me
Allowing me to have free choice.
His words at times harsh
But always full of love
He teaches me right from wrong
There is no room for my way with Him
He has etched in stone His desires
So we will not spend eternity alone.

His love so strong
Giving the greatest gift of all
The sacrifice of His son
So that I may be with Him forever
He gave to me on this earth a loving mother
The scriptures so they may guide me
The Holy Ghost so I can feel His love
And the gifts of the sprit so I know His truths.

A frown now replaced with a smile
Tears of sadness now tears of joy
To know that I have such a loving Father
That will always be there for me
His arms wrapped strongly around me
As I walk in His waysLearning to be more like Him
So we can again meet in eternity.
