He's A Daddy

I posted this back in 2010 but it's still so applicable, so I thought I'd repost. 

He's a Daddy.

A Good Night Moon reader. A horsey ride giver. A human jungle gym.

He's a Daddy.

A teeth brusher. A banana peeler. A time-out keeper.

He's a Daddy.

A singer. A dancer. A drum.

He's a Daddy.

A bubble bath giver. A tower builder. A race car partner.

He's a Daddy.

A jumper. A pair of shoulders to ride. A laugher.

He's a Daddy.

A hugger. A kisser. A everything-will-be-alright-er.

He's a Daddy.

A teacher. A prayer say-er. A owie fixer.

He's a Daddy.

A early morning riser. A Curious George fan. A sleep deprived man.

He's your Daddy.

Your hero. Your biggest cheerleader. Your protector.

He's your Daddy, boys. The man who will love you no matter what.
