Our Fathers' Hands

.
Our father's hands...
   hold us when we enter the world,
   feed us when we are hungry,
   help us to take our first steps,
   steer the plow to provide for us,
   steady our shoulders to learn,
   display what it looks like to pray,
   show us how to dress for success,
   pat us on the back to congratulate,
   warm our backsides to discipline,
   reach to hold us when we are sad,
   high-five us when we get it right,
   and show what it means to throw them
      up in the air,
   but nothing more important
     than to guide us to love and
        follow the Father of fathers,
           God.
Today, let's give them, while we can,
  the hand they so deserve.
