Listen, Daddy Loves You

Come listen very carefully
there's something you should know
Even in my tummy, your daddy loved you so
He'd sing to you and talk to you
Get close so you could hear
He'd say how much he wanted you
and always would be near
He'd tell you lots of stories
about happy things and us
Fairy tales and made up verse
words you'd know to trust
He gave you your first stuffie
it was his from way back when
It was old but very lovable, because
You both would need a friend
He went through the house, looking high and low
any dangers you might find
Happy to do, anything for you
because he is so kind
First, we saw your ultrasound
The picture, so unclear
Your Daddy caught a glimpse of you
Sweet baby.  Oh, so dear
He held me close, leaned into you
whispering with such grace
"I Love You and can't wait to see...you and that beautiful face"
We waited months for you, and mommy's tummy grew 
Then your day came with a mighty force
You were ready to come out to
greet the world
To find out who...Who? Promised you that horse.
