First Knight - the poem I wrote for my son the night he was born

First Knight

For B

Tonight is the Night
You gave me new life
I fought dragons
To get here

And will the rest of my life
To keep you and
your mother
Out of Harm and fright

You give me so much
With your smile and grin
I can wait to teach you
All that I know

From algebra to reading
And Art and poetry
So many things cross my mind
This first night, you’re mine

You show me so much
In just a short time
You are my Knight
Who taught me to be a man
With one gentle squeeze of my hand
On the First night of your life

Love - Dad
