Don'T Fall Through the Cracks

When shadows creep on a darkened streets and the lampposts have gone dim When trouble lurks around each bend and life's happy path turns grim Will I be there to catch you before you fall on through the cracks Will I be there to guide you to let you know I have your back In the darkest hour of the darkest night I will always bring you light When times get tough and you had enough I will be there for you to fight I will walk with you I will talk with you I will share each loving breath for you my son are number one I'll protect you til my death 09/05/2015

Tim wonderful protection for your son. He has a great dad that would always be there for him. I hope he has read how his dad feels about him. I think he is proud of his dad. I give this a 7 also.

You are a great dad Tim..I believe while you slept,your mind kept working overtime,and its only cuz you care for your kids.. Your son will always turn to you..and when he does ,you will already be there holding him.. Hope your night is filled with better dreams tonight..and dont eat seafood before you sleep,it would make you dream.crab dreams : )
