A Father That You Could Be Proud Of
To my future kid,
I was thinking about you
When I tried to become better.
You were motivation;
You and your mother,
Who is also
In the future.
I haven’t met either of you, yet,
But I’d like to be the man
That could bag someone like your mom;
And I want to be
The type of father
That you could be proud of.
I want to be a dad that tries at life.
You need a role model,
And I want to show you that so much is possible in life
I need to live it,
And before you get here,
I need to use that free-time
To build a life for you.
All of these words
Are for you two,
And I know
That they aren’t
Enough.
They aren’t
Enough . . .
But, some day,
You can come here
And read what your father was about.
Even before you were born,
He was about you;
You, and your sister,
And
Your mother
And grandkids.
You are all already a part of me.
I can’t wait to meet you someday.
Whenever I feel like giving up,
I just imagine
What your face would look like.
