He Was The First Man

 

He Was The First Man



He was the first man to hold me in his arms

And gaze upon my face with unconditional love

His touch of protection was so strong

Yet as gentle and soft as the clouds up above

 

He was the first man to wipe tears from my eyes

He never wanted for my heart to be broken

Words of encouragement with strength and love

Were the kinds of words to me he had spoken

 

He was the first man to give me a kiss

So gentle and pure, so soft and so sweet

He never wanted to let me go too far

I was someone he safely wanted to keep

 

He would have given me the world if he could

He would have granted my every heart's desire

But he gave me more than this world could ever offer

His unconditional love was all I really require

 

I realize I wasn't the first girl he held in his arms

I wasn't the first girl to know of his love so true

And I know he still loves those girls as he does me

But to be honest, it doesn't make me feel blue

 

I don't mind sharing his love with those other girls

I have no reason to feel any form of jealousy

For the love I know he feels for those three girls

I know he also feels the same love for me

 

He was the first man to ever hold those girls too

The first man to ever love them and the first to ever love me

So it is safe to say he is very special to all four of us

For he is the only man we will ever call our Daddy
