A Father's Singing Heart
Watching my daughter while pretending;
My son’s smile with a tooth missing;
Helping untangle their kite string;
These are the things that make my heart sing.
Opening presents on Christmas day;
Watching her act in the school play;
Listening at night to hear them pray;
These are the things that make my heart sway.
Seeing him make a football score;
Taking her to the arts and crafts store;
Having them beg for one story more;
These are the things that make my heart soar.
Just in case you missed the theme
About what makes my heart sing,
It’s the joy that my kids bring
In watching them do most anything.
