Give him a warm and loving heart
And a most understanding mind
Throw in a bit of humor too
All of the patience You can find

He's going to be a father
And yes, it's his very first child
Looking at others he has seen
It may get crazy for awhile

Doesn't matter what it will be
If it's a boy or it's a girl
He'll do his best to make it be
The happiest child in the world

He knows it's not an easy job
But with Your help he can do it
To raise this child with hope and love
He's anxious to get down to it

He'll give it all the time he can
He'll show it the stars up above
And teach it all of lifes' lessons
He'll fill its very life with love

Any man can be a father
Don't matter if they're good or bad
But it takes a special person
To become a really great Dad

That is what he hopes to become
Exactly as You are to me
He could use Your help while learning
Help him to be all he can be.
