Here are some survival skills
I recommend---use them or not;
Work to keep your eyes wide open
---and your mouth, mostly shut.
Follow your heart where it leads you
Be true and faithful to those you love;
---Tell the whole truth no matter what
Spend time daily praying to God above.
Treasure your own fatherly sense of humor
Love God and Country with all your heart;
These aren't all a Dad's Survival Skills--
---But a great place for us to start!
