Today began as any

Day in the row.

The sun shown bright.

The breeze refreshing on my face.

I rose an aging boy-but now

I see a man filling those pants.

The birds sang in delight, welcoming

A daughter, fulfilling life long last.

My arms are open, my heart consumed.

Rosy red skin-wrinkles about your face

Awed beauty to knell in her place.

The world no longer exists

For the universe now sits on my one

Bended knee.

I smile at today knowing tomorrow

Will bring those little words;

Daddy I love you always be

My hero won't you please.
