Sweet Boy
Dear Sweet boy, oh how you could never know
There was once darkness that hid me from life
Each and every day the darkness would grow
Relief from the dark came only by knife
With each slice my pain would slightly subside
Adrenaline would rush and I’d feel alive
For a short time I would not need to hide
You are my saint, the reason I survived
The keeper of joy, my savior from death
My little hero lad please never lose sight
I owe you my world and every last breath
Destroyer of darkness and my bright light
Dear sweet boy, never keep your gift quiet
For you are sacred my sweet sweet Wyatt!
