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
