My Baby, My Wife

My Baby, My Wife

Well I was there for your first cry,
it gave me such a natural high,

I had been worried about my wife,
but hearing you then, changed my life.

And then I wiped your diamond-like tear,
and told you that I'd always be here.

I held you close and saw your eyes,
and marveled at your breakable size.

I marveled at your tiny toes,
your wonderful breath, your pudgy nose,

your hands so small, your eyes so blue;
like God's behind them, shining through.

The weight I felt was mixed with bliss,
and then I bent and gave you a kiss,

when I discovered what every dad knows--
my baby, my wife, and both of your glows.
