After I'M Gone

I write my poems, for my son to see How lucky he's him, and he is not me I want him to see, what life's been for me And I hope he can see, why I am never free He sees my pain, he don't know my life And when I lose it, there could be a fight I dont like bullies, I think they should pay But I learned through violence, its the only way When I am dead, and when I am gone I hope my words, can be part of your song I know I am not bad, i am trying to be good Ye I know I didn't do, as I know I should With him in my world, I do see the light And I done my best for his life to be bright I love my son with all my heart I know he will hurt, when its time to part I will be there, wherever he goes My light will shine, as his life grows I will be there, watching from above And when he reads my poems HE will see he was loved
