There’s a little boy
He reminds me of the boy in me
Such a happy smile a joy to see
The first boy is my Son
And that boy wants to be like me
He reminds me of myself
Before Soo much pain won my heart over
As I look over I’m reminded of what I want to protect
But I see myself as the future I reject for him
I want him to have a future where he’s happy
Yet now he looks at me
Happy as can be
He wants to be all that is me
All I want is to be the best for them
Especially when I look at him and see the wrong in me
Not too long ago i was just like him
But some things hurt and I couldn’t let go
At this point I know I have to do better
He looks at me and see’s a future a goal
I look at him and see the past a role
I once held
Once again looking in this mirror
The future and past meld
