A Tribute to a Young Father
As If God prepared you--
You seem to know
How to hold a baby
Until he's grown;
Our little son has such a sold tree
That barely sways with any breeze!
Stable, calm,
A favorite lap to climb on;
A mother catches secret scenes:
Baby kisses; a father's dreams;
Enduring sweetness for a boy to hold
And give his son when he is old;
A devoted father is a blessing
Way before baby's begun;
Giving the greatest gift to his wife:
The love that grew a son;
A happy little boy
Never mysteriously grows,
And as if God prepared you--
Darling, You Seem to Know.
