What Is a Child

What is a Child,
Beside being made from the two of you?

The better parts of who you both are

Innocence
Purity
A life Anew
Another chance to be a better you

A chance to instill the lessons as you go

A butterfly sent from heaven above
A reminder of true love

What is a child?

Something more vital then your own heart beat

The one thing you wouldn't give up for without a fight
The one thing you live for even more than your own life

For this, pain you could gladly endure
A child is the secret of what the future has in store
