Father's
Kinds of fathers
loving, kind,
happy, strong,
weak, mean
Their childhood
molded them
What will Baby be
The father holds his newborn
Speechless, overcome with joy
the responsibility seems staggering
I can't do this
In his arms their bond is forged
deep, everlasting
Protectiveness rises in him
Gentleness flows from him
Baby trusts him
asleep in his arms
He memorizes baby's lashes,
the all-over scent of Johnson's
Child of my heart
You are the new and improved version
of your mother and I
Be all you can be
The process is subtle
Not just Father's words,
his thoughts, too
Baby believes he's right
Whatever is thought or said
by the bed of a sleeping child,
he or she will become
