My Children My Blessing

I have been blessed with three children who
Make me realize that it's not always what "you" do
As a parent to raise them, how they will turn out
It's truly amazing, they make me so proud
They seem to be more mature than I do at times
More focused on the future and doing what's right
To love them more I don't think that I could
Although, I feel that I certainly should
I thank the Lord for them each and every day
And miss them so much when they are away
For the times that I've failed to be the father I should
I beg GOD'S forgiveness and I'll try to do good
Although I have sorrow deep in my heart
For mistakes I have made ever since the start
Of my duty as a parent since they were babe's
To GOD I am grateful for every day
That He gave me to care for them
These three children are truly, a gift from Him
A better present He could not have given
They have made my life well worth living
