God Child

She cried for the first time once she arrived into the world
I can only imagine cause I was away in College during the birth of "MY LITTLE GIRL."
I'm a God Father now, yet I only wish I could've been there to see when you first came
I love the thought of you, and the perfect chain of words that make up your name.
Your dad is none other than me, even if our blood types don't match perfectly
But still all in all, had I been there to save your mother you never would've existed see?
Even though what happened was uncalled for, you are not a mistake
You are a gift that had been dilvered on that fateful day.
You happened like a healthy rose growing in tainted soil
And because of that you can blame me if you grow up being spoiled
As your God Father, I vow to put your life before mine
because I can't bear to see your mother cry if you left before our time.
Baby, baby, dear precious baby
I vow to help raise you to become that wise young lady.
Your mother and I, her family and mine
will raise you be better than he (your real dad) who (in a worldly way) made you.
Your mother and I, her family and mine
will do the best we can to raise you in a way that when you DO leave you will live in the midst of Angels.
You are my God child, my God daughter, my little girl
If you're blessed to look like your mother, you'll be the prettiest little girl in the world.
But I vow to help raise you, to be confident, and not conceited
to have boundaries of humility, with guidance how not to exceed it.
To be smart in everyway possible, so when altercations arise, only your words will be needed
To respect yourself and others, and to be smart enough to know how YOU deserve to be treated
I vow to never lay the weight of my hand upon you in malice
Cause you're my little princess and my heart is your palace.
I may not be the greatest God father in the world, but I can promise that I'll try
These are my vows to you and my dear Neveah Sari.

Please tell me what you think

    This is a special poem for a young lady that is fortunate to have you in her life. Any man can have a child but not every man is fit to be a father. This may not be your biological daughter but she is YOUR daughter. Well written.
