Poem

~The source of my strength~

Eyes so clear

Innocent hearts

Do I have the strength?

Can I do my part?

To channel these wills

Teach them respect

Show them your love

I must not neglect

Father they look

So deep in my eyes

Desiring security

To know their alright

Help me to show

This love for each one

Is freely given like yours

No matter what they've done

Some days I feel weak

Help me see my strength

It's not of myself

But of yours I must take

I am but a branch

And detached from the vine

I can not move mountains

I can't cross that line

Between failure and victory

Exhaustion and freedom

Daily life struggles

Require you that I lean on

These three little boys

And this gentle strong man

Need my support

To tell them they can

Please gently affirm

I have what it takes

Cause I see my weakness

And all my mistakes

You promise to equip

For all that I'm given

So I'm staking a claim

That this life that I'm livin

Is inspired by you

I'm where I should be

Give strength for each day

To be lived joyfully
