A Tender Time I recall that moment when I first held my oldest child. It was a point in my history unlike any other. A crystalizing instant when all seemed right in this world and I was no longer a macho man, I was a teary eyed human being; experiencing one of the truly great interludes of life. There in my arms was a small human being, resting peacefully, new to this world and ready to begin. Her eyes were closed, but somehow I knew she realized that her daddy was there, holding her safe. In a flash I was a new person, beset with an awesome responsibility greater than anything I had ever known. I was embracing a obligation beyond myself, I was now accountable for a human life and I would be weighed by GOD and society for my duties. In that second or realization I was totally alone, though surrounded by family and friends. It was me and my daughter. I remember whispering that I would always love her and she would never see harm as long as I had breath. Bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. She is grown now and a mother of two fantastic sons. My love and pride in her cannot be spoken for words alone could never express my feelings. I can replay that time over in the theater of my mind and it is as vivid as the day I experienced it new. I still get tears and my heart quivers within my chest Jim Woods
