We are born together
released from the reigns
of great speculation -
Beside myself, there is
you and because of you
I am free.
My warmth is yours
and yours mine
in this world
your birth, sublime.
So I rise to be
what I though i couldn't
and I breathe because
of your tender breath.
My child, feel this love
it is from a place of
purity, and I am here
so that you may know
of its qualities.
So grow and rise,
so that I may continue
to do so.

My son inspires me everyday to become a better person.
