To My Son

I never appreciated my life until I gave you yours.
So, it could be said that you gave me life.
Allowing me no longer to live carelessly.
Stopping me from living my life daily.
You gave me a reason to want a future.
When dying was all I could see,
I found myself living in your eyes.
Looking at your face,
I know why I'm alive.
Because in you is where my life lies.
