To Katie,
To Love A Child
by Brian Watt
It was upon the day I saw you born
I knew my heart was lost for now and more
A life-long pledge that day to you was sworn
To feed, to clothe, to love; it was no chore
Since then the years have come and gone too fast
From meals, to play, to sleep did make you grow
No time it took and now you’re grown at last
And yet my love remains remarkably so
What caused a love like this to come to be?
It is unknown; it is a mystery
It is invisible; nothing to see
It is a miracle; always to be
Someday you may a child be giv’n to raise
And then your heart will be within your gaze
Love, Dad
