The hardest thing I’ve ever done

Thought it would be so much fun

In a lot of ways it is, having a son

Two even, the Lord has been good

Only wish He’d given me a lot more

Patience and empathy at my core

To navigate this journey, I implore

Help me to survive my fatherhood

How can I be someone I never had

To comfort me whenever I was sad

And teach me how to be a real Dad

One who stayed, acted as he should

Showing love and strength combined

As God Himself must have designed

Yet here I am today, far from aligned

Praying I’ve done the best that I could
