Someone secure and strong
To shelter and protect them,
And to teach them right from wrong . . .
Someone to take pride in
And look up to as a guide,
Someone they could count on,
And in whom they could confide
He knew as chilren grew up
They'd need the reassurance of
Someone with faith and trust in them,
Who would always give them love . . .
AND THAT'S WHY
GOD MADE FATHERS.
