A daddy talked to his son one day,
had so much he needed to say
“Son, I know I’m not the greatest man,
but for you I’d do all I can,
I know I don’t always have
a gentle tone, or gentle hands,
but still, I hope you understand
I Love you, even when
I have to discipline“

When life is running you ragged
Driving you to madness
It can be the simplest things
that help bring peace to your day
Sometimes the profound
Can be found in the words
that children say
Like:
“I Love You, Daddy,
Do you want to play”
It reminds us that life’s not
about working it all away
It’s about the Love that we give,
the bonds that we make

We see kids murdering kids & we cry that it’s tragic,
but yet there are parents who refuse to parent,
it’s like they think their kids will just turn out right by some kind of “magic“
Train up your children in the way they should go,
if you don’t teach them, how are they supposed to know?
For years you have them, you influence their minds & hearts,
they learn & they grow, and in the home is where their education starts

There’s no complete manual
on parenting
Nobody’s expecting
that you know everything
but I am here to say
A genuine Loving effort
Goes a long, long way
Give your children your best
Every day…
With every heartbeat
& every breath you take,
Don’t beat yourself up if
You make mistakes
By:J.N.R Dutton
A Dr. had a certain patient on his ward that was new, they’d never met before
as he got to know him more, the patient really struck a chord,
The Doc was struck first by the fact
that the kid was in a mental institution at only age eight
The Doc thought no kid should have so much on his emotional plate
that they end up that way
He knew it’s hard enough for an adult,
but a kid has got to be feeling crushed by so much weight
He knew parents should be there for kids, to carry them through,
that no child should feel like they’ve got no one to turn to

If you’ve got a winter day, ice & rain
Frost upon some window panes
A business trip cancelled due
to grounded planes,
it’s okay,
Plenty to do at home inside,
like kick back & play with your kids
Enjoy the time that won’t come again
Realize how precious it is
By:J.N.R Dutton
My daddy did a lot of work
& a lot of praying,
That’s some of what really
sticks in my memory
He Loves God & his family
it made a permanent impression on me
Daddy did his best to lead
I’m forever thankful
for growing up
Under his wing

Who will take a stand for the lost generations
Who have been murdered in the womb?
That place that was supposed to be
their safest haven,
coldly turned into a tomb
Who will stand against the evil,
& say, “no, this we’ll not allow”
we need to cut it down now
Who will speak out?
By:J.N.R Dutton
Footsteps at midnight
falling on the stairs,
a whisper in the dark so clear
A child saying:
“Daddy can you come here,
I’ve had a nightmare”
The daddy says:
“baby you’re going to be fine,
nothing can hurt you, I’m right here,
whatever you feel, whatever you fear
Just know I’m not going anywhere“
By:J.N.R Dutton
I remember when my son was born I took a deep breath
Wondering how I would manage, I’ve got to confess
Some of those early days about scared me to death
when everything was so brand new
but somehow we made it through
We got a long way to go, but you know that’s alright
I know we can handle that too
