Scott Whitby, 2023
My life began when
You weighed three pounds
You with your sister
We didn’t know how
Changed your diaper
Kept you fed
Read you stories
Made your bed
Spelling words
They seemed so hard
Math was worse
But you were a star
You played soccer
You'd rather read
You told me later
You played for me
Boys came along
They didn’t know
What you’d be
How you’d grow
Off to college
Would you stay?
But you grew up
A woman today
Could I be
The dad you need?
Would I fail?
Would I succeed?
I know now
Now I see
It was about you
Not about me
You grew all up
You are so strong
You showed me just
Why I belong
Forever my girl
I hope and pray
But it starts again
You got married today
