The call to being a dad
is immensely strong:
I constantly daydreamt
of finding a little note
neatly crumpled
by a special little guy
``I LOVE YOU DADA
& HAVE A NICE DAY``
but spelled with 2 S’s
and with three little W’s.
Being a dad
is a pleasure
I would love
in my eventual future.
It would be great
to taste a neat meal
made from PLAYDO
with a tall frosty glass
of a look alike to milk.
As a DADA,
I would love him,
I would care for him,
while guiding him
towards his dreams
but it will start
with the first kiss,
the first hug,
& the first change
of a white diaper.

Would not call it your best, but rather touching, and the feeling really plays across, I whole heartedly know the feeling of the want to be a parent.
