My wife never thought that having kids was going to be possible. But after years of trying naturally and several cycles of IVF she finally fell pregnant naturally.

It has been nearly 10 months since she gave birth to our beautiful daughter and tonight is the night before she returns to work for the first time. I know she won’t find it easy but being the husband and father I am, I have written this poem to her from the perspective of our daughter because we are both very thankful for her.

Nine months have passed and we’ve had a blast

We laughed and giggled and you even made me wriggle.

I’ve cried and pooped but you where there,

Thank you so much that you care. I’ve got your eyes and your cheeky smile,

But don’t be sad that I’ve got dad’s hairstyle.

You taught me lots… took me to mums-n-tots,

I can’t wait till we join some more dots. While your at work I know you will miss me,

but just think in a few hours you can say “hi baby”.

I’ll be in good hands, my grandparents are cool

They might be a tad odd but they are old-school. So, this is just a thank you for all you’ve done

Please don’t be blue, I’ll be having fun.

Pick me up at the end of your day,

then we can share the stories and spend your pay. I love you mummy. Zara x

Father’s and ones to be - be thankful for everything the mother of your child does or did for them. I know I am.
