Becoming A Worthy Father

by jaybird1

My life as a father was full of tests
and many mistakes came right from the start.
'Twas a gift to me, I gave it my best.
Mistakes were made just following my heart.
 
My patience and wisdom was lacking then.
Lessons were unlearned that I tried to teach.
I wish for a chance to do it over again.
This time I feel that their minds I could reach.
 
I was not the father I wished to be.
I was not the father needed back then.
 
Life as a father, such sweet memory,
if only I could do it over again.
 
If I were your father, you'd surely know-
I was only trying to help you grow.
