For Newly Young Men Facing Fatherhood.

When you were born, you filled my heart with pride,
And I was overcome by the joy I felt inside.

As I held you in my arms that very first day,
I knew I would never let any harm come your way.

With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet,
Every time I look at you, my heart skips a beat.

As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night,
I hope and pray I will do everything right.

I know I may make some mistakes along the way,
But I promise to do my best not to every single day.

I often wonder what you will grow up to be,
But whatever you become will be fine with me.

So whatever you may decide to do in your life,
Maybe an astronaut, a lawyer, or even a doctor's wife,

I can say this without any doubt at all,
I will always be there to catch you if you fall.

And another promise I make to you from me,
Daddy's little angel you will always be.

I never knew I could love so much,
until the day I felt your touch.

I softly kissed your tiny cheek,
and from under your lashes I saw you peek.

Your beautiful eyes so small and blue,
my sweet little baby just brand new.

I cannot wait to watch you grow,
from your little head to your tiny toes.

My daughter, my love, my little joy,
my little angel, my baby doll toy.

I promise to love you with all my heart.
I'm here for you from the very start.

I'll comfort you when you cry,
I'll answer true when you ask me, "Why?"

While you grow, be sweet and kind,
and show all others how much you shine.

Who would have thought,
To my surprise,
The day I looked in my daughter's eyes,
That I would find my sunshine,
My star,
My pearl,
All the thoughts in my head,
Of this little girl.
You came to me late on the twentieth of November,
That day in my life,
I will always remember.
I did not know who I was as a man,
'Till the moment you were placed inside my hands.
And it was at that split moment,
When you opened your eyes,
Your true identity was no longer disguised.
As the lights glistened,
In your beautiful eyes,
Inside I slowly started to cry.
I was given an angel, from heavens above,
The final test as a man,
A little girl to love.
I believe by God,
I must have been touched.
I love you, sweetheart,
I love you so much.

Your face lights up,
Whenever you smile,
A glow that can last an endless mile.
Your brothers,
They love you,
Your mom and I the same,
You are the completion to our circle,
The caboose on our train.

I have a baby girl
who is my shinning light.
She is my morning star
that makes my world so bright!

When she sees me
she greets me with a hug.
She curls up so tiny,
like a little bug!

She's full of smiles and laughs and giggles galore.
It breaks your heart when she cries
because she tripped and hit the floor.

She has a smile that can light up a room.
It's as big as a bright full moon

She has tiny ringlets
of golden curls.
Her skin shimmers
like freshwater pearls.

She is my life, my love,
my heart, my soul.
When we are together
we are complete as one whole!
