My Child

You are the poem I dreamed of writing,
the masterpiece I longed to paint...
You are the shining star I reached for
in my ever-hopeful quest for life full filled.
You are MY CHILD...
Now with all things I am blessed.

Before you were conceived I wanted you; Before you were born I loved you; Before you were here an hour I would die for you; This is the miracle of love.

A DADDY POEM (boy)

There are little eyes upon you,
And they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do
And a little boy who's dreaming
Of the day he'll be like you.

You're the little fellows idol
You're the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind about you
No suspicions ever rise
He believes in you devoutly,
Holds that all you say and do,
He will say and do in your way
When he's all grown up like you.

There's a wide eyed little fellow
Who believes you're always right
And his ears are always open,
And he watches day and night.
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do
For the little boy who's waiting
To grow up to be like you.
