A joy-filled, but hard task,

Be a dad? Sacrifice.

Of you, much will be asked.

Live for self? Won’t suffice!

Loving and living,

Serving and sharing,

Guiding and giving,

Teaching and trying.

Give them a model,

How you love your wife.

No room to be idle.

Face problems in your life.

Wisdom and warning,

Diligent and directing,

Humbly and honoring,

Godly and gently.
