One Cold Winter Morning

Over the years 

I have had the privilege 

To hold a variety of interesting roles 

And follow a number of paths 

That I enjoy


Computer programmer 

A runner and a dancer 

Writer and photographer 

Musician and composer 

A student and a teacher 

A husband and a brother 

A friend and trusted colleague 


But my proudest role 

The best one of all 

Began one Winter morning 

While I was still 

A young man 


And another young man 

Came into my life 

Courtesy of the grace 

And patience of my wife 


And that young man 

Bestowed upon me 

For eternity 

The title 

That I hold most dear 


For it was on that chilly morning 

That I became 

A Father 

And realized 

That no other role 

In my entire life 

Would be as important 

As fulfilling 

As significant 

As fun and exciting 

Or as magnificent an honor 

As this one
