A Father
I'm the greatest father in the world
So says my girls
And that's just enough
To put my heart into a swirl
It may not look too manly
It may not seem so tough
But if that's all I have
If is far more than enough
Being there and present
Looking in their eyes
If I had a choice in life
I'd not be any other guy
Holding their embraces
Kissing their sweet faces
There's no time like the present
And this one's for the ages
Watching them grow
Bigger everyday
Giants in their characters
And I share in their parade
Watching them look at me
Feeling so invincible
Happiness in prodigies
My joy is at it's pinnacle
Look at me, a father
Never would have thought
The greatest gifts in life
Are those that can't be bought
Two souls in my life
Changing all of meaning
Feeling so content
That I may as well be dreaming
But this isn't a dream
I'm living it, awake
And nothing in this world
Is ever gonna break
The feelings I have for them
Their purpose in my life
These perfect precious beings
I can hardly peel my sights
Every time they say, hello
Every time they say, goodbye
Every time they say, I love you
My whole heart leaps in reply
Every silly moment
Every tender laugh
Every joyful expression
Is so much more than I could ask
This is part of who I am now
Who I've been made to be
With two lives who choose to love
And put their trust in me
Sharing their affection
Gaining their attention
They marvel right back at me
Without a thought to question
Identity a blessing
Love, the perfect gift
Life is so worth living
Having them exist
Enamored by their beauty
My two perfect daughters
See I'm no longer just a man
Since I've become a father
