A Father's Love

The day were born

I'll never forget.

One of my better days,

One I'll never regret.

A newborn baby

So tiny and small;

The next thing I knew

You were learning to crawl.

Before I knew what was happening

You were beginning to walk.

The next thing I knew

You were starting to talk.

In the blink of an eye

You were in the first grade

And the memories of my baby

Were beginning to fade.

Then came the day

You gave up your toys.

They were no longer needed,

You were interested in boys.

Where did the time go?

For now you're all grown;

With a husband and child;

A family of your own.

~2000~

Looking back on your days growing up I

realize how little I was there for you.

When you were sick and wanted me I was

too busy working instead of where I

should have been. Too many hours you

spent on the road just to grab the few

moments I managed to spare.

If I could turn back the clock and do it

again, I don't think I would change a

thing. Although it may seem strange I

feel the bad times has made us appreciate

the good even more. I think now that

you're older you can see the time we

spent apart was meant to be. There are

just three little words for the way I was.

~Being A Father~

It's never too late, or you'll never be old

for me to tell you how much I love you

and let you know how proud I am of  the

woman you turned out to be.

When you look in the mirror I wonder if

you see how in so many ways you've

turned out like me.

Your mama gave you wings of a dove,

and since I wanted to top that I stopped

by the florist and hand picked a dozen

roses just for you.
