Have you ever watched a lovling father with his child.
It is a beautiful sight to behold




 He does not know
I'm watching
as he tries to understand
why the right shoe
(on the left foot)
does not look as it should you see

Shoe laces dangling
between two tiny feet
tries to walk but stumbles
and falls down to his knees

But up he gets and tries again
with only the same results
he is on his knees again
crying for his daddy

His daddy leans down and swoops him up
and hold him to his chest
he wipes the tears
from his son's cheeks
and holds him close again

I watched this Father and his son
and marveled at the love
The father let his son try
but under a watchful eye
always there to pick him up
if he began to cry

We have a Heavenly Father
that watches over us
He knows that we will fall
but never leaves our side

Always there to wipe the tears
from His childtrn's cheeks
For no matter how far we fall
He will help us to our feet

This is a Father's love
for the children He created
So the when you find
you are on your knees
No matter how you got there
Daddy will pick you up
and hold your tears in His hands

Stuff You Can Say Everyday by D. Mullis

My son wrote a book of his personal, one liner quotes. Never underestimate the power of simple statements! A very interesting read!
