The past couple of days, I have been thinking about what Carson would want you to know this first Father's Day. While I was pregnant, I came across this poem. The words are so simple but so meaningful. I know he can't yet verbalize exactly what he is thinking, but a lot can be said with a smile. And that smile that he shares with you when you walk into the room is simply priceless. We love you beyond measure! Happy first Father's Day and Happy 30th birthday!
MY DADDY'S HAND
Daddy, Take my hand in yours and you will plainly see,
How very much I need you now to love and care for me.
As my little hand grows, I will need you even more,
Everything I do in life, I have never done before.
Teach me to be kind and loving, sharing and forgiving,
Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living.
The years will pass by quickly and one day I will be grown,
I will pass what you have taught me onto children of my own.
Hold me always in your thoughts and remember when we are apart,
The special love between a child and a daddy's heart.
Love you!
RL and Carson
