The Reason
The clock of life is ticking
and slowly winding down.
There's way more I liked to see,
I guess that's my only dream.
I've seen the birth of my children
and grandchildren,
Had friends all around.
Most of life happy, injected with
some frowns.
The most beautiful thing to see,
is a person smiling,
Even more beautiful is, knowing
That you're the reason behind it.
