Today, I looked at him and I told myself that God took his time on every detail
His perfectly round eyes and his curly brown hair; everything is exactly how it's supposed to be
I held his tiny hand in mine and traced over each line our father carved into his palms
As he listened to the sound of my guitar
A smile formed on his precious face
It's a shame that his innocence will slowly begin to fade
As time passes and he ages
Everything that is beautiful now will later become another piece of this not so beautiful world

I held him in my arms as I took a step outside
Everything amazes his beautiful brown eyes
I put him down to walk on his own, and as he fell to the floor
He cried out for me to pick him up and kiss his cuts;
He looked for me to comfort him as what he once seen as beautiful turned on him
I'll continue to cherish these moments that I can hold him close
Because it won't be long before he'll have to get up on his own

As his day came to an end and I put him to sleep,
He smiled one last time before he shut his eyes to rest
One thing I know for sure is that he'll sleep well
Without any worries
I'll shelter him from this chaos as long as possible
This world isn't fit for a king like him
