An Ode To Ethan - 17/6/2010

Today it happened,
it's finally done,
the birth of my boy,
the little man, my son.

After a long tiring wait,
a sweet sound came,
the point when our lives,
would never be the same.

It was the sound of the cries,
signaling the start of new life.
I can't describe how proud I am,
of my brave and beautiful wife.

I'll admit that I too,
cried tears of joy.
When for the very first time,
I at last saw my boy.

As I stood there in awe,
and gazed down at his face,
in an instant the World,
became a much better place.

My heart was bursting,
with an intense sense of pride,
as I pictured my life,
with my son at my side.

I know it's early days,
and we've only just met,
but I promise I'll be,
the best father a boy can get.

I'll love you forever,
my son and my wife,
keep you safe, and protect you,
for all of my life.
