Analysis of Our Fathers



My father, who is now in Heaven.
I am so proud to carry your name.
Forgive me father, it took your passing for me to fully understand that you truly did create me in your image.

Father, you created my Heavens and the Universe.  All the animals, birds, trees, and every living thing.
Until I was born I didn't know anything.

The bond between father and son was supposed to be precious and strong for eternity, but now I realize that Satan is always stepping in and screwing up everything.

Now I have children of my own. I just hope I can be the kind of loving father that is expected of me.

Father, I am now on my way and I want to thank you for saving me a seat on the throne next to you and the rest of the fathers of our family tree so that I too can watch over my family.
