Where Will You Walk Little Feet

Where will you walk little feet little feet
Where will you talk little babe little babe
Where will you smile little face, little face
Joy to you, strength to you large soul, large soul.

Where My Heart Is

Where my heart is

There my heart goes
with that small one
who looks up to me
and says can you show me that
can you show me how
to tie my laces,
how to pour the milk
where my heart is
in the cereal of fatherhood
ready to fill me up with
the breakfast joy
no more sleep ins
lots of wakeups
to bind me to this thing called fatherhood
where my heart is.

Love's Embrace

Love's embrace
takes the father for a dance
tells him that he will always dance
to a new tune called the mantle
of fatherhood

He don't worry
he don't cry
for it's where he wants to be
See how he taps
see how he wraps
himself in Love's embrace.

Fatherhood as the sun sets

A beautiful set from http://www.flickr.com/photos/wskrz/

Fathehood's sun never sets
as long as there is memory

It bathes in the light of love
It bathes in the warmth of caring

Fatherhood's sun rises
in the child who passes on the torch
To their parenting.
