You wonder what will happen
And what the future may hold
That’s the way with children
By no one were we told
No matter what the fear
Or whether they’re hot or cold
No matter that no one cheers
Or what events unfold
A parent is there for direction
A gentle hand to guide the way
We will give you protection
Sometimes we’ll even play
A parent’s job isn’t easy
At times they must cause pain
To the parents it’s not pleasing
The purpose is for your gain
They have to teach right from wrong
And how to people you should be
They really don’t have very long
To teach these abilities
Your welfare is what they work for
To give you what you need
For you, out their love they pour
And hope their teachings take seed
Which parents you get isn’t happenstance
I believe that’s safe to assume
And your children weren’t given you by chance
For God knew them in the womb
There is an intended purpose
That is created with God’s own hand
For each and every one of us
A unique path He has planned
He matches a parent and a child
Because he knows you see
Who’ll be meek and who’ll be wild
And what the perfect match will be
Parenthood is a winding road
That never really ends
Your children you can’t always hold
On you they won’t always depend
You make sure they know how
To care for this life they lead
And then you can take a bow
Because you did succeed
