My Fathers

By Marilyn Boman

I’m very lucky you can see,

I have two fathers who love me.

They care about me day and night

And help me learn to do what’s right.

One father holds me in his arms and takes me by the hand.

He plays with me and talks to me and tries to understand.

My other Father I can’t see, but He isn’t far away.

I know that He always listens when I kneel down to pray.
