All because of You

All because of You
(be easy on me as I do not have a child and none is on the way so this is a guess of what I hope for someday.)

Life was just life before you.
Life was just one day after another.
So very vanilla it had become to me.
Each day a reflection of the ones gone past.
Looking forward to another was the best it was for me.

Than your Mom told me we were going to have you.
At first I didn’t believe my ears.
I looked at her in disbelief.
Was I ready to be a father?
Well she said I had 9 months before you would come into our World.
I read and read that night.
I tried to read everything all in just one night.
I was excited and nervous.
You were coming rather I was ready or not.

Those nine months flew on past.
I wasn’t ready or so I thought.
I was afraid I would let you down.
That I couldn’t handle the job.
I was going to be a father.
Is there a tougher job around?

Your mom gave birth to you.
I was right there too.
She held you and I almost fainted.
Then I focused and there you were.
My little man alive and in living color.
Soon I got to hold you.
I was so afraid I’d break you.
Just a little thing.

We took you home real soon too.
No instruction manual.
Just Mom and I to look after you.
You were ours and we were yours.
Good luck little fellow.
We are going to need it because we are new to this you see.
One thing for sure though my son.
I love you more than life itself.
You are what completes me.

No day is ever the same now.
Every day brings something new.
Life has new meaning thanks to you.
I look forward to each and every day.
All because of you my son.
