A Dad to be

Hey Dad, how you doing?

Thought I would check in & say “Happy Father’s Day” to be. I know it is not my time to be here yet, on the outside, but saw you & mum spying on me from out there looking at how I am doing.

Hey, did the photo get my good side? Its comfy here inside, still plenty of womb to somersault & stretch my tiny legs.

You would be so proud; I’m cooking pretty good I’m planning on growing big & strong with big blue eyes & blondie locks.

Won’t be long & I’ll be in your arms, our eyes will meet, we’ll not need to say a word,

instantly we will be complete, our bond of love sealed for life.

Cannot wait to hear whose eyes I have; how sweet my button nose is & how

perfectly formed God made my ears to be.

I know you will count my fingers & toes, TWICE, just to make sure I’m perfectly baked!

I’m sure you will be a fantastic DAD & teach me all I need to know,

like how to spell & count, how to fish & catch a ball.

BUT …Can I ride the dog?

Can I write on walls?

Can I eat some worms? I’ve heard they taste rather good!

Will you pick me up when I take a fall?

Will you read me a book?

Will you tuck me in bed?

Will you kiss me goodnight 10,000 times & stare at me while I sleep?

Will you be amazed at all I do & say Prayers as parents do to keep me safe & blessed as well?

Will you sing me a song to calm my fears & stroke my head to remove a high fever?

Will you tell me tales of olden years when you were small?

Can we go on picnics & learn to swim & surely, you will push me on the swing?

What! Be good or you will drop me off to Grandma’s house!

OH NO!

What fun that will be, when I return & giggle with glee after all she has taught

me that you will not see!

Well Dad, I am getting tired, its hard work getting ready to break out,

but this time next year we will reminisce of all the fun we’ve had & the milestones that I have reached,

We will be best mates & celebrate Father’s Day for real.

Cannot wait to see you Dad I know you will be my Hero.

Love from me, your Son in waiting. xxx
