I drift into my memories

When I first heard the news

I was going to be a daddy,

This for me was all brand new

Mommy’s belly getting bigger,

Oh, how it outshined

The tender glow you gave her

As those long nine months went by

Enjoying every moment

I felt you kick so brave

Waking through the midnight hours

When mommy had a crave

I dreamt of holding you

And pictured how you looked

I even heard your baby cries

In such angelic tune

My joy kept growing fonder

More and more each day

I couldn’t wait no longer

To see your precious face

Then I finally met you,

My angel, my sweet child

You were such perfection

And all I pictured in my mind

Now the years have gone,

But memories are still brand-new

Of those nine months I waited

So happily for you
