The Joys Of Life

The Joys Of Life
~~~
You came to me about two years ago
Taught me things I never thought I know
About life, about love, and hopes and dreams
How things arent always as they seem
Youre so wise, so smart, for just a little man
As you fitted in the palm of my hand
For hours Id stare at your beautiful face
As my mind took me to a different place
Why Id waited for such a precious gift?
To my heart your were such a big lift
All my life Id waited for something like you
To give me the reason to see life through
As you lay in my arms and I rocked you to sleep
Were building memories that Ill always keep
Close to my heart, locked tight in my mind
As for a minute were in our own space and time
Son, I could never put into words what you mean to me
How you opened my eyes too more clearly see
The joys of life, the honor of parenthood
In ways that only a precious child could
I fear the day when Ill have to let you go
When your own oats youll be ready to sow
I hope I would have taught you whats important in life
Before your own child is conceived by you and your wife
