This Father's Love by Melissa L. Calixto

As I lay your precious head down for the night
I wonder what mystical far away land you're in, just beyond my sight
As I stand there watching you sleep
I ask the lord your soul to keep
I ask for the strength and guidance from above
So one day you'll grow up
To know what it's like to share this father's love

I never believed in love at first sight
But when I held you for the first time it just all seemed right
When I hear your soft infant cries
Part of me breaks down as I realize
That I'm filled with unconditional love, over powered by joy
Knowing that I'm the father of this beautiful baby boy

I will show you a world of wonderful sights
As this fathers love takes you to all new heights
Pilot to co-pilot, the same as when I was a kid
I can't wait to tell you about all the things that I did

I pray that this time will last
But it's happening way to fast
Before long you'll begin to walk
Next thing I know, you'll start to talk

All too soon you'll become a man
No longer needing to hold your fathers hand
And I'll be proud of all that you do
Because there is no greater love then the love I have for you
