First time in my life,
my heart froze in anticipation.
It was way bigger than awaiting
your final results in school or college!
It was a letter sent directly from heaven!
It was happiness that would redefine its meaning!
When the wait was tearing me from within,
I saw a glimpse of you my son!
I saw a smile,
a reflection of my own ecstasy!
I saw my rebirth!
I witnessed my own self,
wrapped around cozy tenderness!
I'm at loss of words perhaps,
to describe what I felt in that point of time.
You'll know one day, my son,
how it feels, having a child
who will thread all the happiness
one can achieve in life.
