I wrote this poem a little while ago and I decided to publish it in this blog. I hope you enjoy it.
On Becoming – Upcoming Fatherhood
Hello,
I hear you little one,
growing so big and strong,
deep inside your mother’s womb,
I hear you, I swear,
I sit and I wonder,
what kind of dad will I be,
will I be a father who puts you at the center,
or puts you to the side thinking of only me,
will I do all I can do to make you strong,
to make you wise,
to make you better than I could ever dream of being,
or will I simply keep you as a prize,
no, I am not yet a father,
but I hope to be so soon,
to live, and love, my precious one,
sun up, day, night and moon.
