My Son & Me
A million pieces
Slowly falling to the floor
Each piece a part of me.
The worst times I've ever known.
Every person I've ever met.
For one year, day or minute.
Many good times, sad times... and even bad.
Of these many pieces
Reflecting the light

-At least in my eyes.
One daughter
and one son.
Mine to love and cherish
Forever till I die.
Then along comes a family
walking by my way.
One of them sees my son
Winking in the light.
They pick him up
Brush him off
And put him in their pocket.
Taking away that piece of perfect soul.
One part of me is gone
Forever missing from my soul;
But, if you look carefully,
Reflected in the shattered glass you will see
an imperfect image
of my son and me.
To my son Ross...you will forever be a part of my soul.
