Proud Fathers

Proverbs 10:1

A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

 

All sons want their fathers to be proud

they hunger for their praise spoken aloud

by the man whom they want to be glad

a wise son makes a pleased dad

 

All fathers want their sons to be wise

they yearn for knowledge in their eyes

they desire holiness in every part

and the love of God deep in their heart

 

All sons want their mothers to be proud

they hunger for their praise spoken aloud

by the one they regard as no other

a wise son makes a pleased mother

 

All mothers want their sons to be wise

they yearn for knowledge in their eyes

they desire holiness in every part

and the love of God deep in their heart
