Sea of Emotion

I open my eyes and all I see is a sea of emotion in front of me The cries of a baby, fresh from the womb, letting mommy know she needs fed soon The tears of a toddler, barely turned three, with blood dripping froom a scrape on her knee The laughs of a child just turned six, her smile lightens up all her birthday pics The curiosity of a child just turned ten, who suddenly becomes more interested in men The pleas of a child just thirteen, who just yells at you "Why not?!" and "Your mean!" The pride in the eye of a father, watching the graduation of his teenage daughter The radiant glow of a fathers' smile as he walks his daughter down the aisle The happiness on a fathers' face as he gives his grandchild a warm embrace The relief upon an old mans' brow as he turns to life and throws in the towell I close my eyes, breath one last breath, then open my arms and embrace death I am not scared, am not alone, I have memories of my friends, family, and home As I say my last goodbye, I want you to smile and not to cry And live your life with the greatest devotion, and open your eyes to the sea of emotion .
