Little partner in crime

Dear buddy, let me tell you a tale. 
I will raise you right, never to fail.
Do as I do, and heaven not hell. 
Born an angle named Gabriel. 
Since you came I never left your side.
Five days in the hospital as the hours went by.
Your eyes opened wide, blue like the sky.
God gave me you, my little partner in crime. 

Little hand gripping my thumb.
Makes my heart tingle and numb.
Looking at you thinking what have I done.
My circle is complete my little son.
Little blue, round perfect eyes.
Praying to god this doesn’t fly by.
Taking every moment little by time. 
With my little partner in crime. 

To my Son, where do I start. 
Days like these I wish we are never apart.
So smart, and funny, sharp like a dart.
Came into this world and broke daddy’s heart.
From the car rides, you laughing in the back.
You looking around, fixing your hat.
I ask you “buddy how do you like that?”
And you said “look, I look like my dad.”

Little hand gripping my thumb.
Makes my heart tingle and numb.
Looking at you thinking what have I done.
My circle is complete my little son.
Little blue, round perfect eyes.
Praying to god this doesn’t fly by.
Taking every moment little by time. 
With my little partner in crime. 

Teaching you to catch to hitting the ball. 
Like you came out running forgetting the crawl.
Late night hangouts, cannot name them all.
I’ll be by your side and never let you fall. 
My little buddy your daddy loves you.
Nothing you ask I wouldn’t do.
You look at me as a son would do. 
I’ll be your Superman till the world is through. 

Little hand gripping my thumb.
Makes my heart tingle and numb.
Looking at you thinking what have I done.
My circle is complete my little son.
Little blue, round perfect eyes.
Praying to god this doesn’t fly by.
Taking every moment little by time. 
With my little partner in crime.
