Fathers: Not in Their Child's Life

Fathers! Not In Their Child's Life

Many, many problems happen in a child’s life

Father’s absence (generally) brings much of the pain and strife.

Far more than material things, to one's children, the love, time, attention, given to them

You Fathers who have children, how often do you show

How often, do you tell them, you are very proud of them?

Some fathers never spend precious time with their little ones, giving them the tools for everyday life

Performance in school is poor, your children never see their dad at the school door.

Children enjoy attention from their mom, but need mental and emotional support from Dad

When fathers do not show their children they are proud of them, oh how sad.

To be a fly on the wall, seeing you lay next to momma to conceive me

To hear you say with strong conviction, you will care for thee.

But to spend time, care, love, and discipline you did not do

How often, how often did you show your children you were proud of them too?

Your God-given responsibility as a man is to be in the life of your children, from their start

So that they grow up enjoying making right decisions, with a good heart.

Within you fathers, you have the tools that only you can teach

Because your children enjoy walking in your shadows, so they can reap.

Many things are hard to do in life, fathers being there for your children, all the days of their life

Some mothers refuse to let fathers meet the needs of their children, perhaps a bad wife?

But you fathers and mothers remember, Devastation and pain have long lasting consequences in your child life

Hurry to your senses, children need to be shown that their fathers are proud of them in their life.

But fathers of today are not completely to blame, because their fathers and fathers, fathers never broke the chain.

So fathers of today carry much shame, continuing to play the same game.

It’s all so sad to see that our fathers who were children too, never were free

Many of our children of today have given up, because of past fathers who allowed their own self to get messed up.

Fathers, you are your children role model, your children hear your words, but they imitate your actions

How often do you show that you are proud of them with much satisfaction?

They will listen more to what you are, than what you say

Do you want your children to be successful spiritually, mentally, and emotionally?

How often, oh how often, do you show you are proud of them, so they can be, truly free.
