My Everything Important

My eyes are weathered by the dry wind So I cannot be sure if I saw you grow an inch In front of me today You have become my “everything important” The greatest one I would sacrifice everything for I fear my life depends on your happiness Your success is my doing for now while you are young I am your protector I am mirrored in those determined eyes We shall show the world That greatness comes from altruistic means To ease the suffering of others To plant beauty and inspire is not an ideal It is a way to live
