Fatherhood

Six months and the count goes on

Oh! What a ride since you've been born

Tv shows, books and surrogacy 

Nothing had us prepared for our legacy

To hold you in our arms

To be flattered by your charms 

To see the world lit by your smile 

As you hold all with your guile

How you've wrapped us all around 

And made us live and die with your sound

Can't imagine a day without 

Seems a lifetime ago when you weren't around 

Wonder how you'll remember us as time goes by

How you'll judge us for how we tried 

If you'll hold us to ransom at your beck and call

Or you'll treasure and treat us like we belong 

Alas! Maybe thinking far ahead

While you still figure out how to stop wetting the bed

Still time for you to even learn to crawl

Wonder how we'd ever in the middle put a wall
