Homes are yearning for faithful fathers
by Yvette Gittens
The need for faithful fathers!
This cry rings out around the world
The cry from the voice of mothers
A little boy or girl
The ache for a listening ear
A little help around the home
To take interest in your child/childrenâs education
Fathers spend quality time with your own{{more}}
The quality time spent with family
A time away from the Blackberry
To pray, play and find time to smile
So your children can feel happy
The world also yearns for faithful fathers
To be the watchman of their home
To teach the Bible stories
And to be an example to follow
One who will struggle daily
As a provider for his home
To be the guardian and a tower of strength
And not to always roam
One with patience and consistency
A teacher, a mentor, a guide
Raising your children with integrity
Which they will heed when they leave your side
Keep your words kind and gentle
Be honest and truthful at all times
Do not talk only but listen
Avoid the telling of lies
Show love with your heart and soul
And be unconditional
Provide a strong foundation
An example for your children to follow
For there is some child who is watching
That may not be your very own
He/she will one day be grown
And have children of his/her own
Fathers, be a disciplinary
A pillar of strength and support
Be that man who would rather have Jesus
Fathers please take note!
Happy Fatherâs Day to all the fathers in SVG
