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}

This is beautiful, Katherine. A lot of memories your poem brings back. Our two middle children were boys. And on the ranch it was a wonderful life. Why does time go by so fast? God Bless, Cile
