A Gift In Waiting

You got ten lil fingers
and ten lil toes
Welcome to the world
that Daddy already knows

I see your Mommas eyes
and your Mommas chin
I see my features
as I see your grin

Can't wait for the day
that you call me daddy
So I can hold you close
to show you how I'm happy

I want to see your face glow
when you turn one
Or even when you take a step
then learn how to run

But to let you know
I will be always be here
And I'll always love you
welcome to the world and have no fear
