| When I heard the news of you, I did the things most Daddies do. I opened up my heart so wide, for you to have a place inside. |
| As each day passed, I'd think of you, I'd watch you grow, I was expecting to. |
| I tried to imagine the person you'd be, would you look or act like me? I thought of the things that we would do, the times we'd share, just us two. |
| I would give you piggyback rides, push your swing, and watch you slide. I would teach you how to ride a bike, catch your first ball, throw your first strike. |
| I would hold your hand in mine, be your protector, strong yet kind. I would be your hero and friend, give love and advice on which you'd depend. |
| I will always remember the day you were born, I cradled a miracle, small and warm. What words I had were scarce and few, a tear and a smile were the best I could do. |
| Life gave me a moment, precious and rare, bursting with pride, excitement and care. I promised you then, all that I had. See, you were my son and I was your Dad. |
| When I heard the news of you, I did the things most Daddies do. I opened my heart so wide, where you will always have a place inside. |
