"Memoirs Of The Human Experience"
What has ever been purer than the scent of a babies breath?
What has ever been more softer than a baby in the palms of your hands?
What has ever been more peaceful than an infant laying upon your chest ..sleeping as if they didn't have a care in the world?
What has ever felt more prideful than holding an infant in your arms as you gently rock them to sleep?
What has ever made you feel more heroic than to hear the cry of a child and to extend your arms out to them as they run the best that they can into what they know and believe...is the safest place that they could ever be..into your loving arms?
What can ever be more joyful than holding this baby up and making them laugh and smile for the very first time?
What could ever be more humbling than watching them enter into this world at birth?
What could ever be more rewarding than watching this child grow and over come its frustration of a brain and will power that seems to be developing faster than its physical ability, as you are there to help them reach and get past each milestone?
What can be more mind blowing to watch than this infant turn into a grown adult, right before your very eyes, as you were there for every moment of it?
What could be more honorable than cutting their umbilical cords at birth as the doctor hands you the scissors?
What can produce more compassion within you more than you being there for your child no matter what age to help them deal with some very difficult times?
What has ever granted you a higher sense of achievement to know that your kissing your child's "Boo-Boo" actually saved the day and made them stop crying?
What could be more fascinating than watching your child stretch and move about in the mothers womb, a foot then an elbow at a time?
What could ever feel more accountable than to know that this child is going to watch what i do ...more so than what i say?
What could ever be more comforting than to hear the words from their mouth that say "I LOVE YOU DAD!"
This has been the best part of my human experience....
