My Someday

To my someday son or daughter, in no hurry to arrive I'm not sure where you are but you seem to take your time Your mother and I are waiting, unsure we'll see the day Trying not to wish this phase of life away For some time we've been hoping An open window's closing My someday Someday you'll learn music and play games in our yard Learn that life is messy and will be hard But once you meet your mother, you will understand How I know I'm ready to hold your hand For some time we've been hoping An open window's closing And the day that we once feared Is the day we pray to get here We weren't always ready but life has gotten steadier Oh maybe you're waiting on me To become the father you need I know I won't be perfect but I swear you'll get all of me To my someday son or daughter, when you're ready I am too All the love you'll ever need is waiting here for you
