Like Father Like Son { Essay }
I know now I'm no longer who comes first
When I stare into my newborn baby's eyes
Dear God show him your love through me
this little bit of heaven I hold in my arms tonight
it all became so clear we're an ultimate team
that cannot be broken for this I vow
giving you my love for all eternity
as I stare and rock you gently off to sleep
tiny fingers curled up to make a fist
lips curled looking like your mad at the world
cowboys and Indians blanket wrapped around you tight
thumb sucking and singing sweet lullaby's
I watch you gently close those brightful eyes
wondering was it me but only in a smaller size
have no worries my newborn son
your new daddy will keep you safeguarded from any storm
How will I explain the birds and bees
or monsters hiding under your bed that you see
will you take my hand when your afraid of the dark
or be a brave little soldier who's marched off to war
never fear for your daddy will always be here
will ask God to watch over you each passing day
for there's alot of things I still must teach to you
like your abc's and your 123's
taking you to your first ball game
eating your first footlong hot dog
cheering for the hometown team
and just recanting the past when
you were tightly wrapped in your daddy's arms
looking at the world like you were so darn mad
but fell fast asleep to a lulabys sway
of daddy rocking his newborn son on that first father's day
Though I Only Have My Jenny
Would Not Trade Her For The World
But Would Of Loved To Had A Son Also
Tribute To All The
Wonderful Father's
Happy Father's Day
RIP Daddy {1925-1981}
