I've been talking quite a lot about motherhood in my last two posts. And so while we're on the subject of parenting, I might as well delve into fatherhood to complete the picture.
I've personally witnessed people turning away from their filthy habits to good for whatever reasons (i.e., spiritual or tragic experiences), but the miracle of having a child of your own still never fails to blow me away.
I celebrate with a good friend who has recently been introduced into the blissful realms of fatherhood. I've never been this proud at how much he has matured as a person, and I could attest that I've never seen him this happy since we first met. He wrote this song as a tribute to his Rivers of life. I imagine him making more music (to the tune of daddy-ing) in the days to come.
TAKE ME AWAY
Take me away
My river of hope,
Get me through despair.
I'm hopelessly stuck
In stagnant misery.
So take me away
My river of hope.
Take me away
My river of love,
Get me through this grief.
I'm lonelier than
A drifted dry leaf.
So take me away
My river of love.
Take me while running through your course,
and drift me away from it all.
Take me away,
Carry me on,
Drift me away,
Get me through this life.
Take me away,
Carry me on,
Drift me away
My river.
