You were far too young to remember, the night I was forced to leave.
The feeling of a heart fracturing, far too surreal to conceive.
Even now, hard to believe.
With each visit, your hair was longer, and a little taller you grew.
Your smiles got wider, your eyes, a more vibrant blue.
I caught your first steps, first words and throw of a ball.
But as your father, I wanted more, much more. I wanted it all.
As you grow up, I hope we don't grow apart.
For one day you'll be too big for my lap,
But you'll never be too big for my heart

Good man. Written from your heart it's plain to see. This will be a treasure to give your beautiful daughter, suitably framed, on an occasion of great importance in her adult life. Maybe when she gives you a grandchild. A really good piece, a joy to read.
Thank you all.. I actually have twins. 1 boy and 1 girl. My life, my love, my happiness. Now...well, hopefully I get to see them soon.
