My Children

They’ve made me laugh
and they’ve made me cry,
but the best thing about
them is knowing they’re mine.
The world to me would stop
without them, for a reason to
live would be pointless again.

A purpose in life is what they are
to me, even though I’m not the father
I know I should be. Innocence and
beauty accompanied by youth,
a heartful of love – I can’t deny the truth.

They’ve made my life full and I
know that someday; their lives will be
full in much the same way. So, I
hope they understand their importance
to me, ‘cause I can’t live a day without
my children you see.
