Philippians 4:8

I’m the one who views in secret,
the way you truly are.
The way you really live your life,
not looking from afar.
I see a Father full of truth,
much different from the rest.
Nobleness is sent forth from you,
as you brave humbleness.

Respectable, your earthly ways,
too right to be ignored.
Character that I desire,
through our family cord.
Purity emerges,
deriving from your heart.
A cleanliness that Christ doth see,
it’s like a work of art.

Lovely are your gentle ways,
quite tender is your care.
Captivating, your love for mom,
a treasure we both share.
You’re a man to be admired,
esteemed, and adored.
Prized above a million men,
for this I praise the Lord.

The most excellent example,
of Christ’s sacrificial love.
The way you lay down your life,
for the ones you love.
A Father who’s so loving, 
so gentle, and so kind.
I’m thankful that our God saw fit,
to make you, Father mine.
