I've spent my second life
With known purpose and growing reason.
Doing what I knew right and watched
In pure joyful amazement that reason growing
From fragile and helpless you were
To eye to eye, and qualities that reside
Take hold and swell my chest in pride
An amazing soul and grown man before me
I thank you for saving me from that first life
My third approaching too quickly.  
As it shall as it should.  Will I be ready.
Though the second will forever mean more
To the selfish man inside me.
