Best Fathervoice Poems


Hear You

I sit here and listen 
For your voice in the air

Breath frozen within my chest
Stolen noises dismissed without care

It is your first whisper
It is your first wail

Fiercely you make your call
First Love's grasp from your heart you entail

New upon the world an infant's silhouette
My eyes upon you are tempted to spy

But I hold them shut tight
For I yearn to hear your first cry

Treasured melodies for which I wait
Memories and lyrics none easily compare

I sit here and listen 
For your voice in the air
