An Unexpected Gift
A Father's Day Poem for New Dads
he jumped up in surprise
and when she said it was a girl
he laughed until he cried
The little girl he wanted so
already in his heart
he rubbed mom's belly every night
I knew Dad from the start
I swear I heard him tell me once
he loved me more than air
his voice so gentle to my ears
I'd know it anywhere
Arriving late at twelve o'clock
his baby girl was born
wailing, kicking beet faced red
on that snowy winter's morn
Before my mouth could form the words
I knew this special man
the one who kissed my chubby cheeks
the child that was not planned
Da-Da, daddy, dad and pop
I voiced in every way
his heart and soul now part of me
I love you Dad, Happy Father's Day
