A Poetry Journey

Poem – Journey Into Fatherhood

Written by

in

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.

    Great poem. More fatherhood needs to be celebrated.

      Thanks. About to become a dad and that poem just kind of came pouring out of me – with all the emotions I have been dealing with.

    you say you are not a father yet but your words show you are a father already…this was quite a lovely poem. I really enjoyed reading this
