Crazy Dad

I throw off rules
Laugh at expectations
I dance in front of propriety
So she will be free
No doors closed for her
I love that girl like crazy

I hear his nighttime crying
Uneasy sleep, sweaty dreams
He comes to me
The only rest will be in Daddy’s arms
Safe tonight his mind at ease
I love that boy like crazy

I am crazy about them
I have nothing left to lose
I can gain no more than my fulfilled dreams
Resolve of toil, challenge and pain
I set my eyes hard in their favor
I love them like crazy

I am The Dad,
Watching, waiting, serving
Exploring, testing, teasing, loving
My line is full of wild men
Whose only possible regret
Was having anything left at the end.

God is an extreme Father.
He created for you
He embarrassed you with public affection
He tested and taught you
On one dark day, He even killed for you.
Crazy, scary, radical Father.

Brothers and sisters,
Dad’s not far away,
He’s definitely still crazy about you
Throw down your schemes to remember
Crazy.
