A rock of strength
Toughness that pushes through
Steadiness in the storm
A light in the darkness
The backbone of the family
A glue that holds it so true
What more can I say
How much more can I explain
The power of this woman
A perseverance that is steadfast
My bestfriend, wife, lover and mother
The Rock that holds our family together

Wrapped in your arms
Held tight in your grasp
Lips coming together
Taste of sweetness within your kiss
Running my hands through your hair
Silk threads so smooth to my touch
Gazing into your eyes
A fire blazes into my soul
Desire to be engulfed completely within you
Needing you, wanting you, lost in you
Today, tomorrow, forever more
You and I becoming us

Awaiting the day of arrival
Looking into your eyes for the first time
Heart wrapped around your finger
Crawling along the floor
Pulling up to walk some more
First day of school, following the bus to ensure you’re not scared
School plays, recitals and field trips
Watching you scrape your knees when you fall on the ground
Holding you close as tears abound
Family trips, holidays and so much more
Into a young lady you grow so quick
Days go by, weeks than years
Graduation day is soon here
Watching you strike out on your own
Soon a young man catches your eye
Down the aisle I lead you, with a tear in my eye
So proud I am to watch you grow from the baby girl I held so close
To the fine you woman you have become
Always remember that, “In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle the Lion Sleeps Tonight”
Love Dad
