Blessings on you!
Let's talk a little about B.C.*
Before I was a daddy,
I never knew my heart
could be outside my body,
but nonetheless a part.
I never knew that organ
go in each direction,
the same ways of that boy and girl
which garner my affection.
Before I was a daddy,
I thought I had all wealth.
A son was given unto me,
a fortune, now, to dwell'th!
Now garners he such interest as
he multiplies my worth!
Who knew that such prosperity
resulted from a birth?!
Before I was a daddy,
so macho and so tough.
And then I held my daughter,
resolution turned to fluff!
How could such a tiny person
topple such a man?!
I thought that such humility
was only in HIS plan!
Before I was a daddy,
my wife was oh, so nice...
But now, her beauty and her worth
have multiplied in price!
Even far beyond a 'price,'
this lady that I know;
"...but who am I, Lord, that such
treasure-trove would You bestow?!"
"Before I was a daddy...
but how long has it been?
In spite of 'functions' that escape,
I am most blessed of men!!
A wife, a daughter and a son
compounding my account!
To calculate how I am blessed...
no way to find amount!
