First Told

I didn’t seem quite old enough Barely more than a child myself When I was first told I didn’t know quite what to say Hell, it didn’t seem that long ago I used the words myself It didn’t seem that long ago I called him daddy And there was a special lady I called my mom Now here I am Not yet sure of who I am About to be called the same myself Not knowing how to handle the feelings The joy, the amazement, the wonder of it all I never felt such a thing Never felt so, so unworthy Or had such a sweet song to sing As when I was first told How can one such as me Be blessed with someone like you It’s something I’ll wonder all my life It’s a day I’ll never forget When your mother First told me about you NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
