Suddenly Dad

This will perhaps be the shortest of the pieces written by me but I had to write this one. I had heard and read so much about how fatherhood changes you that I'd decided that I for one would not just say the right thing to say (I mean who'd venture out and say that having a kid is OOOOOOK nothing special..). Now, I know better. While I am trying, I can assure you that words CANNOT describe the way I feel. As sissy as it may sound what I did feel was just hold her in my arms sit in a quiet corner and cry. Yes, you read it right.. cry. It is an overwhelming feeling to see, hold, touch, smell this small little life that has been created with your contribution. I do not know how long this euphoria will last, what I do know is that I do not want it to end!!!

And to describe the rest of how I feel...a few lines from a song made popular by Aerosmith. This one is for my daughter....

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While youre far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing..

...I dont want to miss one smile
I dont want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
