This poem goes across 3 pages in this book. It is such a neat poem.
It reads:
When I heard the news of you, I did the thing most Daddies do.
I opened up my heart so wide, For you to have a place inside.
As each day passed, Iâd think of you, Iâd watch you grow, I was expecting too!
I tried to imagine the person youâd be. Would you look or act like me?
I thought of the things that we would do, The times weâd 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 and throw your first strikeâ¦
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 youâd 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 hadâ¦See you were my child and I was your DAD!
