A responsibility that requires emotions
 that are quite remarkable,
Strong yet gentle,
firm yet compassionate,
focused yet sensible,
His is a supreme privilege;
no greater honor,
To be called Father...
He must daily learn how to show,
An example of goodness
to help his family grow,
A marvelous teacher;
no greater mentor,
To be called Father...
Like an eagle over his nest hovers,
He must protect his home
from all evil comers,
Always fighting for what is right;
a valiant warrior,
To be called Father...
Always carrying onward
no matter how hard the test,
Persevering and always
expecting only the best,
His greatest challenge
to see his children succeed;
this reward the highest valor,
To be called Father...
He must be willing to lay down his life;
show ultimate love,
And forgive our sins;
to return to God above,
The greatest sacrifice of all;
was by our Savior,
Whom we all call Father...
