Father to a Dad
I’ve often sit and wonder
When I changed from a father to a dad
Was it at the sight of birth
When I was really glad
Or was it at the age of 2
When we played all night and day
We always had loads of fun
Whilst rolling in the fields of hay.
Then there was the age of 4
The year you started school
I felt so nervous for you love
I now feel such a fool.
I know! It was the age of 8
When independence came
I had to let you go alone
I was frightened just the same.
Or was it at the age of 12
With your innocence mostly lost
You were no longer my little child
I found out to my cost.
Perhaps it was at 18
When an adult you became.
I sat there and just smiled at you.
Thinking “ That job I’d do over
again “.
So I sit and still I wonder
When I changed from a father to a dad
But I’ve also got to work out now
When this father became a granddad
