A Father's Prayer



There's an emptiness that has been filled in my heart.
A place in my heart that I didn't know to exist.
A feeling that can't be explained by words.
An emotion I didn't know I had missed.

It's an opportunity accepted by many,
A responsibility accepted by few.
An obligation that scares me tremendously,
A faith in me that has been renewed.

There is a fear in me of failure,
A wife with me that believes,
A belief that love begets love,
The reminder through God she conceived.

To the world you are but one person,
But to one person you can be the world.
I pray, "God please let me exceed my father!",
And be a father to my new baby girl.
