I Remember
I remember
The first time I
Saw your picture.
You were so
Beautiful, and
I knew
I'd love you.
(I hoped
You'd love me.)
I remember
The first time
We chatted on
The Internet.
You asked me
Questions, and
Told me about
Yourself.
(I was so
Proud and Happy.)
I remember when
You asked if I
Loved your Mom,
And if I'd
Be your Daddy.
(I laughed,
And cried,
And said Yes!)
I remember the
First time I
Heard your
Beautiful voice.
(Because you
Felt so much
Closer, and real.)
I remember
The first time
We met.
You laughed,
And said I
Was handsome.
(I blushed,
Hugged you,
Laughed and
Cried with
Happiness.)
I remember
That first weekend,
When we knew
That we would
Be a family.
(I would never
be the same
without you.)
I remember
All the good times
We've had,
(I will always
Treasure those
Memories.)
I remember
The pictures,
You drew,
The stories
You wrote.
(You are
So talented.)
I remember
The times you
Came to me
With doubts
And fears.
(I held you
Close, and
Loved you dearly.)
I remember
The times
We had to
Learn discipline.
(I had to
be tough,
but never stopped
loving you.)
I remember
When you
Learned to behave,
And got your
First gold stars.
(I was so proud
And Happy.)
I remember
The hugs, kisses,
Tickles, and
Practical jokes.
(You always
Brighten my day.)
I remember
The first time
I brought you
To school.
(It was always
One of my dreams.)
I remember
The first time
We went to
Open House
At school,
Saw your work
On the wall, and
Talked to your
Teacher.
(Again, I'm
So proud
And happy!)
I remember
The first time
You finished
Your homework,
And asked me
To sign.
(You're such
A smart student.)
I remember
The first time
You fell asleep
In my lap.
(I held you close,
Hugged and kissed
You, and carried
You gently to bed.)
I remember
The joy when
You stopped using
My name, and
Called me Daddy.
(I love you.)
I remember
When the word
"Daddy" became
A word of love.
(I can hear
the difference.)
I remember
When times were
Difficult, and seemed
Hopeless.
(I knew I could
never leave you.)
I love you,
With all my
Heart and soul.
I want to be
Your Daddy.
I want to
Cherish and protect
You for all
Our lives.
I want to
Hug and kiss you,
And watch you grow.
I want to be
Your Dad
Forever.
