[bodytext] => The Journey Of Parenthood Almost two years ago a life-changing event occurred. My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Little did I know how my life would be turned upside down. The reality of a little life being totally dependent on you. Was overwhelming, scary and yet at the same time joyous. Coming home from the hospital, little did I know my life had just begun. Every two hour feedings, dirty diapers, and a cry that could break glass. Was a quick reality check that my life was forever changed. More than once I’ve asked myself, What have I done? But soon both of us got used to our new world. And life as we knew it became easier by the day. And what in the beginning felt like chores were now acts of love. A love that’s indescribable, a love that only a parent can understand. We grew closer every day, I learned what you wanted before you had to cry. The bond of father and son was stronger than ever. Together we both experienced many firsts. Your first smile, first laugh, your first gripping of my thumb. The first time I had to leave you and go to work. You know you’ve met contentment and fulfillment in your life. When you’re away, and you can’t wait for the moment to be home. Can’t wait to have your family near you. Looking into my son’s eyes is like looking into a mirror. I see myself so much in him, from his smile, to his laugh, to his mischievousness. I couldn’t put into words how proud he makes me feel. This journey of parenthood has been a life altering event. One that has taken my wife and I many years to decide upon. But has turned out to be the best decision we ever made.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
