Everyday I prayed to Him,
Lord help me with this deed,
I'm not sure if I can do it,
With Your help perhaps I'll succeed.

The job had no description,
Experience was not required,
Just plenty of hands-on training,
That didn't stop even when tired.

I had no idea what was in store,
Or what the end product would be,
I just knew I wanted to do my best,
Even though all my work was for free.

For months I pondered the outcome,
Was I sure I could handle this task,
It was much too late to turn back now,
Still...so many questions to ask.

After laboring for hours with worry,
My new job had quickly begun,
Time to find out just how I'd do,
As I cradled my brand new son.

Years have passed in moments,
This boy's now a grown man,
Making his way in this world,
And being the best that he can.

And though we'd like to take credit,
The Lord was there every day,
To guide us in raising our precious boys,
Every single step of the way.
