Especially enjoyed last line, partly for the alliteration. Well, if you did have a girl, that is one way in which you and I are alike. But I did not desire to be a father; I did it for my wife; I had my vas deferens resected a few months later. I think resected works here. bring ;)

What a beautiful and heart touching poem this is! Amazing message of love for a child, one that is very blessed to have parents such as you! Fathers are the leaders and protectors of their wives and children, a sacred trust given to them when they become a father. This poem definitely shows the proof of that! Wonderfully and tenderly written right from the heart! Totally love this poem. Give it a 10++++++++ Added it to my favorite poem list, and you to my poet's list if that is alright. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

When the lights have been turned out; A father becomes wise and nice for child and becomes teacher teaching values to nourish life's destination. From love we have to give something we have to learn. Our courage is definitely supported. Very amazing and wise composition shared on. Excellent.10
