As I sit to consider, <br />The events of my life, <br />Through many toils and heartaches, <br />Much bitterness, anger, and strife. <br /> <br />Yet I am always encouraged, <br />As I go from day to day, <br />To put my hands together, <br />Upon my knees I go to pray. <br /> <br />Thank you Lord Jesus, <br />For bringing me this far, <br />With your eyes ever on me, <br />Just like the noon day star. <br /> <br />You light my way before me, <br />You lead me where I should go, <br />You show me each and every day, <br />How much you love me so. <br /> <br />Just like my earthen father, <br />Before his life was through, <br />Prayed to you Lord Jesus, <br />I give my son to you. <br /> <br />Take him Lord by his hand, <br />A humbled child from the start, <br />Please take my son into your arms, <br />And protect his tender heart. <br /> <br />So I thank you Lord Jesus, <br />What more can this man say, <br />I thank you my Heavenly Father, <br />For helping me day by day.<br /><br />Franklin Spriggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fathers-son-a-sons-father/
