It's a Girl
To many who read my story
This may not seem so strange
To witness an everyday glory
But for me, my life it changed.
Not every dad sees the birth
Of his brand new child
Some don’t appreciate its worth
Or perhaps are just too mild.
But for me, I stood perplexed
To see this miracle occur
I could feel every muscle flex
As I empathized with her.
The breathing, I was supposed to coach
As I sat up near her head
But as soon as the time approached
I went to the other end of the bed.
The crowning of the head at first
Brought the tears to my eyes
New love inside me starting to burst
Was a wonderful surprise.
A daughter, my wife granted me
Upon that fateful day
A sight that I was glad to see
With my own eyes all the way.
