The Gift of Blood

i respect your skill to believe in someone like me
 you caught sight of
 a child in need. an abandoned seed
 instead of simply walking away like most would
 you picked me up
 took my hand
 you showed me trust
 made a man
 look now
 here we are eye to eye
 i owe you my life
 this is one for the ones who are unsung
 one mans mistakes. gifted a new son
 to understand this love is to live it
 though its hard i try to believe it
 witness my brother kris
 his son ryder james
 new porter jay and sweet emily
 restoring my faith in family
 a sight that heals and enlightens me
 im the lucky one
 for all the self loathing bullshit i say
 i can forget to see
 the
 beautiful effect
 compassion can bring but
 no love
 for weak hearted fucks
 who disrespect
 the gift of blood
 dewitt i wasnt your son
 but you were more of a father than i could have asked for
 my life will honor you
 this is a song of strength
