Fatherhood

I’ve often wondered what kind of father I’ll be? What kind of husband I’ll be?

Always picturing myself with the love of my life.

The lover I grew up with, the lover I always want to be with, the lover I’ll fight for till the end of my days.

None other can ever take your place

~Fatherhood~

Watching your child come into this world,

Is one of the greatest moments of life itself, It’s priceless!

How fragile babies are, how innocent and peaceful they look

So small, so vulnerable, so pure~

I want to protect you and love you with all I have, always.

Watching them grow, say their first word, learning to crawl, to stand and walk~

It’s a beautiful blessing and there’s no words to describe how beautiful this gift of life is

Teaching your child your values and principles

Imparting that unto them but letting them decide who they’ll be and what route they take,

Watching them grow into their own individuals,

Ready to tackle the world!

Being a friend to your children, being there to listen to them,

Making them feel secure to tell you anything and everything, being their mentor, teacher and best friend, their shoulder to lean and cry on

Being their provider, their supporter,

Encouraging them, guiding them

To be the best they possibly can be.

Aim beyond the moon and stars, be the best.

I’ll always love you

Fatherhood~

Oh, how beautiful it is

Fatherhood
