The Godly Father Wakes Each Day (Father’s Day Poem)

The godly father wakes each day,

To seek the King and walk His Way.

He wages war on demon foes,

On fleshly snares, and worldly woes. 

 God’s truth he wears around his waist,

With honest words his mouth is graced,

His righteous works adorn his chest,

To those in need, he gives his best

He comes in peace to those irate,

And snuffs the blaze of strife and hate.

A shield divine protects his heart,

And blocks the Tempter’s flaming dart. 

 A Gospel helm upon his head

Gives strength to win o’er any dread

His battle sword, the living Word,

Stabs to life the dead who have heard.

He fights this war with prayers and pleas,

With cries to God while on his knees.

He serves his home, his church, and friends,

For poor, lost sheep, his soul contends.   

With holy words he leads his wife,

And builds his home through sacrifice.

His little ones, he loves and guides,

Through seasons fair and raging tides 

A father’s walk and Christ-like love

Reflect the heart of God above

And show to all our Father’s face,

Love for sinners, and saving grace.
