When you have children

When you have children
your whole life changes


They are the suns in your universe
the electricity in your nerves
the fuel in your veins
and every thought in your head


They are the lives you brought into the world
to take take care of and nourish
to love and to guide
and leave for the good of the world


They are the light of your life
and the love in your heart
They are everything you live for
The reason and meaning of every single thing


You cannot bare to see
the tears in their faces
you cannot bare to hear
their sorrowful cries
your heart skips a beat
if they ever even trip


the hopes they build in you
the fear they cause
the joy they bring
the laughter they spin


Children are the reason 
life goes on!
