Over My Head and Loving It

Elbow deep in crap and piss.
Climbing over mountains of diapers.

Covered head to toe in puked-up milk.
Meanwhile my brain feels like a bomb.

Asking myself what am I doing this for?
Day in and day out with panic.

Sweating and bleeding.
All for just some food and heat.

Chasing imaginary monsters from the closet.
Playing the knight in shining armor.

Asking myself what is it all for?
Night in and night out with fear.

Chasing away the boys with threats.
Fearing for my little girl's safety.

Staying up countless nights.
Along with spending money to send her to school.

Again for what reason am I doing this?
Always having her on my mind.

Holding my grandchildren with gentle care.
While I watch my little girl feel the way I still do.

                             Again I ask myself Why?
                         The only reason I can come up with is simple : Love.

Nice sentiment....
Looks as though perhaps becoming a Father ...caught you off guard at 1st.
Like the way it wound down to confidant willingness to learn & do your best.

"People are always watching each other.
If only to learn.
Watchful eyes help.

Fatherhood
I will have help. "

" God dosn't always call..."The Equipped'...but !! ...he ALWAYS equips.." The Called"...all they have to do is seek...
~ all my best parenting lessons came from my kids

Blessssssssss you
enjoy your angel

yes, nice concept. this is the most and not to be the single most appropriate term to be used describing such human ability, the Rational Humane INSTINCT. as we can see father birds are only programmed to do this cycle of event by hunting, feeding and reproducing. the feeding part resonates to the fatherhood it can fortake... and by this naturally it can hone this ability throughout time, and by learning from others or simply by learning form its own father... this is just a background of nature, for human is nature.. we do believe on that of course... and the only difference is the complexity of artness the human can expound to....

you will do it fine and as scary as it is, when that little angel looks up at you and you realize that you are her everything, the rest will melt away! just let it!

A lotta feeling in this one, I'm sure you're doing a good job being the best dad ever

[hyancynthstofeedthysoul]

i am sure you will do fine. just remember they do not come with a manual. others have done it. hold her and above all sing to her. they love to hear your voice.

I love children, and I try to be a good uncle to my two nephews and my niece.

I do not have children, but I may one day and I look forward to that day with trepidation as well as joy.
