Happy Papa's Day!!!

A special entry for Papapia.

I found this poem in one of the websites. Reading it, remind me a lot of Papapia. It is soooo Him!!He pampers the kids a lot. Some lines have been edited accordingly.

Can I Carry You ?
© Brad Anderson

I guess that I can hold you
one more time before you grow.
And tell you that I love you
so that you will always know.

Please let me tie your shoe again.
One day you'll tie your own.
And when you think back to this time
I hope it's love I've shown.

Can I help you put your coat on?
Can I please cut up your meat?
Can I pull you in the wagon?
Can I pick you out a treat?

One day you might just care for me,
so let me care for you.
I want to be a part
of every little thing you do.

Tonight could I please wash your hair?
Can I put toys in the bath?
Can I help you count your small ten toes
before I teach you math?

Before you join a baseball team
can I pitch you one more ball?
And one more time can I stand near
to make sure you don't fall?

Let's take another space-ship ride
Up to the Planet Zoor.
Before our Cardboard Rocket
doesn't fit us anymore.

Please let me help you mount the horse,
while you're still too small to climb.
And let me read you stories
while you're young and have the time.

I know the day will come
when you will do these things alone.
Will you recall the horse rides
and all the balls we've thrown?

I want you to grow stronger
than your Papa could ever be.
And when you find success
there will be no soul more proud than me.

So will you let me carry you?
One day you'll walk alone.
I cannot bear to miss one day
from now until you've grown.
