Sometimes on nights like this
I like to watch my girls sleeping
as the cool ocean breeze passes in
stirring their curly red hair

I think of when they were born
that moment where I became Papa
of the strength I saw in my wife
of the love we felt and helped create

As I touch their heads lightly
and look across the white capped bay
I see the moon gracing my unsaid wish
placing with me another perfect day

A real man

kisses his children goodnight

JBowie~
You touch me so tenderly when you write of your love for your children.
Beautifully portrayed, dad.

You say things soooooo nicely ...

'A real man
kisses his children goodnight'

Let's give this another go in this time-warp.

I agree with Marge. When it comes to your children then that's where it's all at! The future of our society and they need to be loved. I commend you on this poem!
