I had a desire to write a poem for my daughter, and this is what came out of my mind.
Time stands still when I see the beauty in your eyes
The joy in your laughter soothes my heart
the width of your outstretched arms is a mere fraction of the love we share
I was there when you took your first breath
tiny and fragile, yet full of life
I was there to hold you as I laid you down to sleep
I would sing you a lullabye, tender and sweet
I was there for your first steps
and I would pick you up everytime you fell
I was there when you were taken away
as my life turned into a living hell
I was distraught and depressed, what had I done wrong
so I had to make a promise, your daddy would have to be strong
weeks would go by, my life void of your laughter
why couldn’t we have just lived happily ever after
so I never gave up, I always fought on
I wanted to be a father you could depend upon
Sophia, my daughter, my beautiful baby girl
I just want you to know, you are daddys whole world
