When I was young my father told me Son,
Never give up and try until you have won;
I was the one responsible for your birth,
Nurture and to raise you up on this earth;
But God will be always watching over you,
As you continue with life's journey through;
Always make sure that you do your best,
For the He will surely put you to the test;
God will help you if you sincere to ask,
But remain true and never wear a mask;
So what you tell me is also telling God,
Please don't think of that being odd;
Since God will see what is in your mind,
Whether you are mean or extremely kind;
God wants to see you to succeed in life,
Not to be burdened with stress or strife;
Never forget to read the Bible everyday,
And always give Him praise and to pray;
Time will come He'll meet you at the gate,
To explain to you about your eternal fate.
