cry out

When I heard you cry for the first time everything else ceased to exist, but that animalistic cry of freedom that was born from your lips.

Everything moved in slow motion until you were placed in my arms. You don't know yet you were my lifesaver
a reason to be calm after life's storms

A reason to think about everything but me
A reason for me to continue to be the best I can be

A reason to work harder and not needing to prove a point

A reason to love, a reason to talk it slow
A reason to reevaluate everything I've known

A reason for life, a reason to see
That though I have goals of success the best things in life are free
A reason to embody all I can be.

You are my gift from god
My heart, my Riley
