Everything To Me

In the chaos of it all, these are the moments:

Listening to you sing as you fix dinner

Falling asleep with you and waking up still entangled together

Watching you talk to and play with every dog

And how much we laugh at the silliest things

The way you look at me, so intense and earnest

Your mindset, your drive, and your convictions

The little things that are really the big things

All I want it to stand beside you, support you, and fuel your dreams

In the dark times, when the demons won’t relent:

You feel lost, but it won’t always be that way

You feel without purpose, but your purpose hasn’t changed

You’re still a father, a son, a brother, a best friend

And you’re loved by everyone who knows you, even if you don’t believe it

You say it hasn’t really been long enough

But I know your heart and who you are at your core

And don’t you ever be sorry for any part of it, for just being you

Because there’s something about you, and it’s everything to me
