Father's Day: a less celebrated event than Mother's Day, I suppose. But because our church will be celebrating it this Sunday, I was tasked to give a tribute to fathers. So I wrote a poem to share to the web before I deliver it on the pulpit...
A perfect father that is what we imagine to have
Somebody who will give all that we want in life
A person with strength just like Samson imbibe
One who can resist the charm of Pharaoh’s wife.
Just like what we learn in school since our childhood
days
Our father should be the pillar of strength through all
the years
The example of love, care and inspiration in despair
Someone in this world beyond compare.
A perfect father should bring out the best in his child
Willing to make a colorful robe to show he is proud
Can raise a king out his humble and simple life
A wise father who knows his own child’s strife.
Situations may change our view of a perfect father
When he may not agree to what we are after
Those times we feel that he is not there to care
Since he is not around when we feel the scare.
The longing to be asked what’s going on in our lives
Is as important as watching the basketball game live
The tap on the shoulder, the noisy talk over dinner
Is the time for us to get closer to every family member.
Someone who is proud of his wife, is a perfect father to
have
Who exudes loyalty, support, respect, care and love
We may not expect our father to be perfect in our entire
life
But we are sure, there is a perfect father in heaven above.
