WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer’s sun,

The calm of a quiet sea.

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagles flight.

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family’s need.

Then God combined these qualities

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew his masterpiece was complete

And so He called it Dad.
