Daddy

Today, in God's perfect plan,
  We are witness to His grand vision.
 For within two of the strongest hands,
  The Lord placed a tender child.
 A grasp not quite as powerful
as His own.
 But gentle enough still, to cradle
in loving wonder.
And strong enough to hold any burden
that fell his way.
This cherished life was fashioned
from the ground up.
Molded from earth in the Lord's image.
And although his eyes so rarely shed tears,
When the time came for them,
Those tears held more emotion,
Than we could ever hope to comprehend.
He relinquished to him, A giving nature,
As well as a family to provide for.
Then He blessed the union of family and home,
With a perfect, priceless love,
Naming His new creation after Himself...Father.
But seemingly unknown to God himself.
Through a child's innocence and laughter.
He soon became known as Daddy.
