Levi and Naomi,
I am your father
(sigh)
Father sounds so official
It sounds like a name for the non-fun times
"Dad" sounds fun
It's what I should be called
When we're all laughing and getting silly
You're into books right now
Where poop and diarrhea reign
Thank goodness they don't rain
My son and daughter, forgive me
I am learning on the job
And overreacting to your overreacting
Serves no greater purpose
I love being a dad
"Father" does sound like a job description
And sometimes it is a tough gig
Scrubbing out soiled underwear
Calming nerves after a fall
Guiding you through a change
Maybe sometimes "father" is necessary
To get to the times when I'm a dad
So it's not all bad.
