Nine months of pain
And the days finally come
Will we have a daughter
Or will we have a son?
Will it have my eyes
Or maybe my nose
My smile or my dimples
Or my lips who knows
Just holding your hand in the emergency room
As we both wait for the doctor
She walk in holding our beautiful baby
And said congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Runge you had a daughter
You look at me and smile as tears fill your eyes
And she asks you if you want to hold our little girl
I try not to cry as I fight my tears
And I look at you and her and I’m staring at my world
Look at what we brought in this world
A part of you and me
A new life form to take care of
And have the family we always dreamed
We finally leave the hospital
I drive all three of us home
We go upstairs and place her in the crib
In a room of her own
Then I bring you to the bed
And I tuck you in
I tell you to go to lay down and get some rest
I kiss your cheek and tell you ill be back in a minute
I go into the room where our baby lies
As I stand up over her and look into her crib
I reach my hand down and she grabs my finger
And I gently blow a kiss off my lip
I pick her up in my arms
As I hold her while I sit in a rocking chair
I rock her back and forth
And rub my hand on her little hair
I gently kiss her forehead
And she closes her eyes
I just sit there looking at her in my arms
As a tear falls from mine
I get up and gently place her back in her crib
So she can fall to sleep
And I stand next to her crib
Then get down on my knees
I look up to god and begin to pray
Please let me be the best father I can be
I want to give to her
All my father didn’t give to me
I will always be there for her
Teach her right from wrong
Show her everything I know
And that she will always belong
Ill be there to hold her when she needs me
If she must ever have to cry
Ill tell her to let the tears fall
And never wipe her eyes
Tell her life will deal you obstacles sometimes you will make mistakes
But you don’t always have to be the best
Just hang in tough and never give up
And you will always pass the test
I want her to know I’m never to busy
To give her my love and my advice
I will be there to give her a hug
And let her know that she and her mom are the most important things in my life
So thank you god for sending me
This new form of life
Let me be all I can be
For her and for my wife
And let my wife know please
That we will stick together through it all
If time are to ever get hard
To know that I will catch her so she doesn’t fall
I get up off my knees
And wipe the tears from my eyes
Then lean over into her crib
And then gently kiss her one more time
I go to my room
Where my other baby lays
And just smile and look at her for a second
And hope god heard what I had to say
Then I get into bed
Kiss her cheek and hold her near
And I know that when I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
That this isn’t a dream they are both here
