Fatherhood In Haiku 15 - Sacrifices

Sometimes need a smoke.
Hard to quit something I like.
But I like you more.

I am so lucky,
To get to stay home with you.
Never waste moments.

Working every day,
to bring a better life home.
Your Mom misses you.

Fatherhood In Haiku 14 - Field Trip!!

Toys 'R Us is Huge
You had so much fun, wide eyes.
Glad you don't know "want".

Got you a Helmet!
The Pink Butterflies light up.
Look so cute in it.

Got a blow up pool.
Palm Tree Shade on top is cool.
Should have bought a pump.

Fatherhood In Haiku 13 - Far Away Youth

I must remember,
What it was like to be young.
Can never forget.

I often wonder
What you will be like grown up;
It is exciting.

You love to explore.
Going outside is so fun.
So many new things.

Fatherhood In Haiku 12 - New Scooter!

Your new scooter came
It's pretty cute, just like you.
I hope you like it.

Time to go shopping.
I wonder if they make a
Helmet that tiny.

Your first time was fun.
You were hanging on real tight,
Enjoying the ride.

Fatherhood In Haiku 10 - Always' and Firsts

Fatherhood changes.
At first you just try to cope,
But it gets better.

Expected nothing,
And have been rewarded with
Most wonderful joy.

Today was a first.
Used your potty like big girl
we're so proud of you!!

Fatherhood In Haiku 10 - Teaching Me

Seems like there isn't
Enough time to breathe some days,
And then you smile.

Nothing else matters,
When you look me in the eyes,
And say "I love you".

When we go for walks,
You show me what I should know;
There is no hurry.

Fatherhood In Haiku 9 - Talkin' Back

It was a long day.
I guess that happens a lot.
I shouldn't complain.

You have learned how to
Repeat everything we say.
I should watch my mouth.

Now, you say each time,
When you need a diaper change!
Potty training soon!!!!

Fatherhood In Haiku 8 - Growing

You are just like me,
I see more of me in you,
Every single day.

I love that you ask.
"what" is your favorite word.
Ask for everything.

You love strawberries.
Wish they weren't so messy when
You smash and squeeze them.

Fatherhood In Haiku 7 - Been a while

A long time has past
since my last Mila Haiku
Hard to find the time.

You have grown so much
You are such a big girl
So independent.

I love to teach you
you learn everything so fast
It's kind of scary.

Fatherhood In Haiku 6 - Taken

I watch the light dance
Across your beautiful eyes
Shimmering with awe

Your cheeks are so cute
Like soft, puffy marshmallows
Glowing rosy pink

I love the shudder
When you’re falling deep asleep
So calm and peaceful

Fatherhood In Haiku 5 - Life is Changing

Sunlight on your face
You glow like Seraph’s Halo
Such peaceful beauty

Ceiling fan spins ‘round
You stare at it mesmerized
Hypnotic baby

You look kind of mad
Shoulder time and pats on back
Happiness again.

Fatherhood In Haiku 4 - Dreams and Stains

Time has no meaning
When I look into your eyes
Pools of hope and love

Back and forth and back
The swing makes your eyes heavy
Sweet dreams little one

Making peace with stains
There's a new one on the couch
Bet that won't come out

Fatherhood In Haiku 3 - Getting Used To This

It's a real good thing
That diapers will end some day
Not my favorite

Time to warm some milk
Awake only two minutes
Cry like arm fell off

Wrapped up nice and tight
You look like a burrito
Made of fresh baby

Fatherhood In Haiku 2 - Wonder

The night air is crisp
You are still to young to know
What the outdoors bring

What will i teach you
A better question would be
what won't I teach you

Your smile is so sweet
I can't wait for you to laugh
You are so much fun

Fatherhood In Haiku 1 - The First Month

Twenty eight days now
So very, very, tired
She sure is cute though

I wonder what will
I wonder less what will not
So much potential

Days and nights are one
Sleeping through the night is fun
When again? Who knows
