Sanity

A poem about children

Children are my sanity,
they are my strength and light,
My hope and inspiration.
They are there when I feel I've lost sight.
They are what I get up in the morning for,
When 6:30 seems to come so soon.
They are the reason I was brought to life,
And I know they're the reason I'm alive.

Children are my tightrope.
They catch me just as I begin to fall.
The way the world is turning now,
I just look in their innocent eyes,
And I find more than enough hope.
When I see a childs smile,
I know that I am wanted,
And when the day finally reaches its end,
I can start a brand new day,
Knowing I have them.
