The moment our eyes met
You became my whole world.
When I first held you in 
My arms, I realized

You were the reason for
Everything I’d do.
Your dreams quickly became
My dreams, and I wanted

Nothing more than to set
The world before your feet.
My days are long and dark
Without you in them and

My heart aches from the time
We are apart. This will 
Not always be, or so
It is my hope. But the

Years are long, and hearts can
Change. I just hope, always,
I’ll have a home in yours.
Ev’ry day I fight for

You, for another day
With you. A war rages
Within my chest, and I
Wear scars no one can see.

But you should know that you
Are my guiding light, a
Beacon through the haze of
This world. You give me strength.

A strength I often find
Hard to come by. And this
Strength brings me courage, for 
A fire burns bright within

You. So bright I know it
Will one day eclipse my
Own, and my heart burns on
Only to feed your flames.

I exist to fuel your
Fire and when I burn out,
You will go on, because
You were and are my Son.
