THE FATHER

Father forgives when you fail,
Protects you when you fall...
Disciplines when you disobey,
But it doesn't mean he doesn't

Love you at all...he loves without
Reproach, inspite of what you're
Doing or have done, he can't
Unlove you...unsacrifice himself,

He loves you, with everlasting,
passionate penetrating powerful
Love, piercing the heart...richly
Drenching us with eternity, it's the

Father's love for you and me!
