I wasn’t there
when you took your first breath
when you staggered and fell
learning to walk
But I’m happy to be Dad
living now with you
helping your Mom
as you become you
Not a moment
would I really alter
as you test and shout
finding your way in the world
Sometimes we struggle
but that is part of growing
I hope I can give you wings
that you may fly
