have come home from the hospital.
I need to sleep in your room
as I don't know what else to do
and I cannot let you out of my sight.
Yes, my darling son,
I feel so close to you
during this precious time
of our new acquaintance.
For I am a father at last
and an older one as well.
Sadie and I were married for 15 years
before you finally came along.
You were such a beautiful surprise
and a miracle baby indeed
although when I look into your eyes
I shall always think of her.
Please bear with me if I seem distracted
but I have mixed emotions
that will probably never go away.
One day when you are older
I can explain.
Right now we have to stick together
and bond as a team.
You see, your dear mother didn't make it
when you were brought into our world.
She is no doubt looking down upon us
from somewhere up beyond the stars
and smiling
and embracing both of us
until the end of time
as one happy family."
