It’s not just you who came that day,
My little girl like a baby star in the sky;
In your tiny breath, your trembling cry,
A daddy was born too!
The moment you arrived, my love,
You held my fingers softly yet tight;
As if you knew that I was yours,
As if you chose me, in your first sight!
I was the first to hold you here,
On this wide and wondrous earth;
And in my arms, I realised,
You have given me a second birth!
Thank you my girl, for choosing me,
For lighting up my weary soul;
For breathing gentle life in me,
For assembling my heart back whole!
When you cry my little one,
My tears rise with yours too;
I try the world, I try my all,
Just to calm and bring a smile to you!
Love me the way I dream you will,
With warmth forever unmistakably true;
Give me the love I never ever had,
Let it bloom from me to you!
Stay healthy, happy, and safe, my child,
In every step, each day;
For in your light, my precious girl,
A father finds his way!
