This Father's Day I find myself pondering
what to be a Father means.
Do we choose the type of Father we become, 
or is it determined by our genes?
Long ago, a wise friend once told me,
Some parents God gives to show us how to be.
Othere He gives so we can see what not to do,
But it is His choice, not ours,
which ones He gives to me and you.

It's not always easy for you;
your health won't let you do some things.
But you face each day as it comes
with whatever hadship that day brings.
My heart breaks to watch you hurt
and know there's nothing I can give
to ease your pain or make your life
less of a struggle for you to live.
Sometimes it's hard for us
to comprehend or understand
what God has in mind for us
or how we fit into His plan.
but of all the things I don't know,
one thing I know for sure is true.
God gave your son the best father he could have
when He decided to give him you.
