To Be a Father

I want to be a fathe
I want to rub and kiss 
Your bell
I want to be there for that first ultra 
sound
To be there to witness the miracle of 
birth
I want to be there when my son 
Takes his first breath
I want to change his first diaper with 
a stupid smile on my face
I want to document his first laugh 
and his first tears
I want to hold him to the sky 
And scream his name to the world to 
hear
I want to see his 1st steps and his 
backpack for that 1st day of school
I want to take him on his 1st date 
and watch him woe the lady's
I want to witness his entrance to 
university and save pictures of his 
graduation in my heart
I want to wipe his tears 
After that 1st serious heartbreak
I want to be the parent and best man 
at his wedding
And before i die and close my eyes 
forever
I want his face to be the last that i 
see!!!
