A kiss from my lips on your soft pudgy cheeks.
A night time game of peeka boo peeks.
A bedtime prayer along the side of the bed.
GOD, look after mommy and daddy are the words that you said.
A book that was read until your eyes began to doze.
The three little pigs and I came to a close.
A night light turned on so not to scare.
How could I not? I would not dare.
A long silent sleep was all that I wished.
Your dreams grew strong and continued to persist.
A father with fear of things to come.
A child's dreams of many and not of some.
A mother crying because she can't bare anymore.
A father on his knees pleading from the floor.
A GOD who answered every last plea.
Now a happy family.
Damn it's good to be me.
