FATHER:

There's power in the simple word that propels the heart to happiness,

Power in a big smile and a kind nature's most gentle touch.

For when you give of yourself to someone else you then know you are blessed,

What is done on another heart's behalf is what really means so much.

**************************************************

Father, you give of yourself so much every day to us with great love,

We yearn with gratefulness to be a mirror image of all you do

You are our example of hope that radiates from Heaven above

Lord, we strive with everything that is within us to be just like you.

****************************************************

Let us mirror all of the wonderful things that make up your great heart,

and strive with all of our love to take it just one step further more

Relying on your presence and power to lead us from the first start

and the light of your love as a compass to open every door!

Amen.
