Wide-eyed angel.
Intelligent, beautiful
scholar to be.

Can’t wait for you
to walk to me.

Bright-eyed angel.
Intelligent, loving,
brave cosmonaut to be.

Can’t wait for you
to talk to me.

Open-eyed angel.
Loving, brave,
beautiful explorer to be.

Can’t wait for you
to read to me.

Warm-hearted angel.
Soon to explore
the stars and sea.

I love you. Truly,
deeply, infinitely.

You gave something
to me, the gift
of being a dad.

All I’ve ever
wanted to be.
