Daddy's Heart
When I heard the news
of you,
I did the things
most Daddies do.
I opened
up my heart so wide,
For
you to have a place inside.
As each day passed, I'd think of
you,
I'd watch you grow, I
was expecting too!
I
tried to imagine the person you'd be
Would you look or act like
me?
I thought of the
things that we would do,
The times we'd share, just us
two.
I would give you
piggyback rides,
Push your
swing and watch you slide.
I would teach you how to ride a
bike,
Catch your first
ball and throw your first strike.
I would hold your hand in
mine,
Be your protector,
strong yet kind.
I would
be your hero and friend,
Give love and advice on which you'd
depend.
I will always
remember the day you were born,
I cradled a miracle, small and
warm.
What words I had
were scarce and few,
A
tear and a smile were the best I could do.
Life gave me a moment, precious and
rare,
Bursting with pride,
excitement and care.
I
promised you then, all that I had,
See, you were my child and I was
your Dad.
