My Daddy is a Firefighter

For Dru's Thirtieth Birthday I wanted to do something special. We are by no means rich and he has been working really hard around here since I have become pregnant. I decided to do thirty, mostly small, gifts in thirty days (working on the post, I'm very proud of myself). I just wanted to share his favorite gift. I wrote the poem one afternoon and got in touch with Sugardoodle Designs to make the gift extra special. With a beautiful design and quick response time, they were a pleasure to work with. Exactly what I wanted.


The poem reads:

My Daddy is a Firefighter

My Daddy goes to work
And he is well prepared
He loves his job because
He helps people hurt or scared

Sharing him is my job
Though it's hard everyday
I'm so proud of him
And I know I must be brave

I think of him at night
When I lay down my head
I wish my daddy was home
To snuggle in our bed

Mommy and I say, “Be safe”
As he turns to leave
I smile and wave and pray
Please come home to me

I have to say, it was a bigger hit than I thought it would be. Especially for someone that is extremely difficult to buy for and also doesn't wear his feelings on his sleeve. I know he loves it. Gifts from the heart are always the best!
