Andrea

Andrea

By Sean Leon Reser 

When my daughter 

Andrea was born 

I was a father for the first time 

I was the first to hold her  

When the nurse brought her out.

When she was born 

She lets out a shout 

I knew she was happy 

Not wanting to go back. 

I watched through a window

As they wrapped her up. 

Standing at the door

The nurse brought her out

And she said “Here you go”

Bringing her close 

She opened her eyes 

Staring into mine 

She smiled 

Then I knew 

She loved her daddy
