The below poem was written by a lady named Katherine Nelson Davis.
Why God Made Fathers
God knew that children all would need
Someone secure and strong
To shelter and protect them
And to teach them right from wrong.
A person to take pride in
Throughout their growing years,
Someone to laugh at childhood jokes
And to comfort childhood tears;
That’s why God made fathers.
God knew all children needed
Someone to be their guide,
To count on and look up to
And in whom they could confide;
He knew as they grew up
They’d need the reassurance of
Someone with faith and trust in them
Who would always give them love;
That’s why God made fathers.
