Immortal
I became immortal Then you came into my life A bright, bubbly healthy boy Who showed me what was good in this world I became immortal To watch you grow big and strong To teach you what's right from wrong To guide you from harm. I became immortal To pick you up when you fell To hold you high amongst the clouds Daring you to fly I became immortal To come to your aid whenever danger was near To fight off your demons and show you the light. I became immortal To be there for your first crush To dry your tears, and wipe your cherubim face To kiss your forehead and hold you tight Promising to keep the monsters away I became immortal To watch you venture out with your loved one To listen to your stories and watch your face light up with happiness as you spoke Even though you left me behind I became immortal To forever feel your unconditional love and passion To guide you while raising your own To show you the path of fatherhood I became immortal To be there when you grow old... To be there to comfort you as your loved one passed on To be there when you kin leaves you. I became immortal But I was not ready When you closed your eyes... One last time.
