When you became a father you took on the responsibility
of providing for your children…a loving family.
With fatherhood comes the duty of combining the present with the past
and providing a future for you children that is both meaningful…and vast.
When it comes to shaping the kind of people they will ultimately be
your children will be looking to you…for you hold one of the keys.
During those times you get to steer the ship
navigating the capricious winds of fate
If you teach your children love…they will love
If you teach them to hate…then they will hate.
Whatever you choose to show them
in all you say and do
remember: there’s a good chance
they’ll be watching
and will grow up
to be like you.
