The Effects of Having a Baby On a Man - the First 10 Seconds

Your whole life changes when you learn Your future stops … then starts again As your whole world’s been rearranged By this confusing seismic change Your insides melt, you’re racked with fear The things you knew best seem unclear A sudden smile, you cannot not Your mind goes numb, your eyes fill up You pull her close to share the pride And you can feel the life inside Then all the worry, the delight Somehow combine to make it right And unexpectedly you find Your purpose now has been defined Your whole life changes when you learn Your future stops … then starts again July 16, 2018 JOYS and TEARS of being AN EXPECTANT PARENT (mother-father) Sponsored by: Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser
