Thomas

He's given me the world right from the start
He even gathered pieces of my shattered heart
I did not need to ask him he's shown what a real man will do
He lifted up my spirit when it was lost from light
Cast out my demons made it his fight
With the world already on his shoulders
He refused to give up
He continues to push forward
In this war called life
You see in his eyes he has no other choice
He has three lovely ladies he won't sacrifice
Two daughters and his wife
They all look to him he gives them their strength
If ever a time comes when he needs to rest
They'll pick up the slack
All because he's shown them
That's what love and families do
They have each others back.
