From conception to marriage, what can a father say to his child growing into honorable adulthood?

While some of these key milestones can't be conveyed to the child for practical reasons, the father's love remains, deep and enduring. In The Child, author Clay Romero shares his words of love and encouragement for his child. He offers a universal message, one that applies regardless of birthplace, hometown, or circumstances.

Good fathers wish to see their children have success and happiness and carry on the family heritage, hopefully setting the standard of excellence higher than the generation before. These verses seek to touch the hearts of those yearning to have children.

Uplifting and heartwarming, this poem considers a child's life from its earliest stages into full adulthood and celebrates a father's lifelong love for his child.

A father's pride
And a mother's joy
Was born this blessed day.
We count your toes and clear your nose.
We're thankful Moms okay.
