Happy Father's Day to all the dads, soon to be dads, & single moms doin' their baby's daddy's work!!

Thanks for checkin' out Bsombin'! Today is Father's Day. The day I look back on my life to reflect on all the wonderful blessing that being a dad has brought me. When God gave me a seed to raise, he gave me purpose, motivation, inspiration, strength, courage, & wisdom that I never knew before. He gave me a little friend to help understand life & this crazy world we live in. Just as much as he gave her to me to teach & guide, he gave her to me to learn from & be lead by. He helped me to see what I am capable of, & what I can do, in order to be a better person (&, in doing so, a better parent), because he put a profound love in my heart, that I can't explain with all the words in the world, that made me want to be the best example I could be for my little angle. It is a very happy day for me, being able to celebrate the joys of having a child. ...recently, I have had a lot of friends tell me that they are expecting little ones of their own. So this Father's Day, I want to share a poem I wrote in anticipation of being a dad. I hope you enjoy & check back soon for more bsombin'! 

"Father-to-be"

To my first born...

As I wait for you,

With a thankful heart

Which races on thoughts of

Knowing it's new heir &

Purpose, 

A silent storm stirs my soul...

The air of anxious joy, 

& new found love,

Excite the ocean of emotions,

While they open the 

Gates of existence to 

Change

My mind grows wings of 

Love, & faith,

& flies like a Phoenix 

Towards an optimistic sky,

While I exhaust the 

Possibilities of 

Who, what, when, where, why, how, how long, & what if...

Meanwhile...

Blessed eyes

Gaze at the 

Swelling seed that will be

brought forth by the 

Budding Flower 

I love,

Eager to know the 

Farthest reaches & 

Full extent of 

A beautiful vision

Happy Father's Day!

...& thanks for stoppin' by Bsombin'! It's Father's Day. In light of that, here is a poem I wrote to my daughter...

" My Sweet Pea"

Made to be,

Unexpectedly...

Your first mention brought

Worry & Uncertainty,

But, after a second, 

I found jubilee

Knowing that soon I'd be

Your daddy!

Once it all set in,

With goosebumps on skin,

I puffed my chest out, & 

Picked up my chin,

Then I turned to the world & said,

With a grin,

"Today is the day my

New life begins!"

I felt that I needed to 

Change & refine;

I knew that I needed to 

Focus my mind;

I knew that this process would take

Work & time,

But I had to make sure that, 

For you, I could shine!

The day you were born,

The weak in me died,

So, I struggled & fought,

I tried & I tried,

& as I struggled & fought,

We've grown

Side by side,

Now, I've loved you & taught you & 

You made me feel pride!

Because I was 

Blessed, with the 

Best kid in 

This world's history,

A luckier father

There never will be!

...Dedicated to my Sweet Pea!
