Was there ever a time when you were less than my everything?
I can't remember it.

Did I live in this world before you became the center of it?
I existed.....maybe.

Was there joy in my heart before you made it your own?
I didn't know the meaning of the word.

Was there any direction to my life before you became my anchor?
I drifted aimlessly.

Was my soul anything but an empty, black abyss before you became my light?
It was nothing more than that.

And now, you're leaving.

Will I return to the void my life was before you came?
Never again, you filled the void too well.
You touched my soul too deep.
You loved me too much.

I am forever changed
Thanks to you,
My Son.
