Daddy's Hand

A hazel eyed man gazed down

At his little bundle of joy

Chubby cheeks eyes of blue starred back

He reached his large hand down in the little bed

A tiny little hand reached up

She grabbed a finger from the large hand

The years went by quickly

Skipping along holding that strong hand

Next thing it was pictures at the prom

Seemed like in the blink of an eye

The little girl was almost as tall as the man

It was a beautiful summer's day

The man held her hand

One last time!

He walked her down the aisle

Now a grown woman dressed in white

They stopped in front of the large crowd

He took what once was his baby daughter's hand

Placed it in the hand of another man

She whispered I love you Dad!

He whispered back I love you to!

As he walked away a tear rolled down his cheek

The bride never forgot that first man's hand

A few years later

A grey haired man stood over baby's bed

He reached his large hand down

God's little gift grabbed his finger

Baby's Mother stood beside the man

Whispering in his ear

I love you Dad!

The little angel starred back

At the grey haired man

Just like yester year

The little one grabbed his finger once again

The first hand in a little girl's life!

Daddy's Hand!
