for the missing fathers

God sharing, redefining roles

for the missing fathers

a father for us all

God showing love

as a mother, nurturing

strong yet loving

gathering us home

God sharing, showing

how we are to love

offering us both

in himself, herself

in the form we understand

and one we need so much

a truly loving father

who can mother us all
