Poetry

---

Like every boy I've played some sports
and oh how I had fun.
Competition got me high;
Even higher when I won!

And like every boy I had my dreams,
but I never realized,
fatherhood would come along
and be my biggest prize.

So when I got it figured out,
everything I had.
Was nothing more than second best.
No toppin' bein' dad.

Now all the thrills of victory,
will never match the joy,
of knowing I can be a dad,
just like every boy.

Proverbs 22:6

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.


My first child April Dawn was the inspiration to this poem and let me tell you, you will need God's help in training a child because this world doesn't have a clue. Pray, Pray, Pray and be blessed.
