For You

To my boys. The heart of my heart.
If I built you a house, do you know what I’d do? I would build it from love. I would build it for you.
In each stone that I lay, I would inscribe a prayer. I would seal it with hope and joy in every layer.
I would plant you a garden. I would kiss every seed. It”d be full of Gods blessings and all that you’d need.
I would fill every room in your house full of love. I’d make sure that it had everything you dream of.
I would pour my whole heart into all that I do. I would do this, I would. I would do this for you.
And when the night comes and you lay down your head you will rest knowing only peace. You will wake with the sunrise kissing your face, You will wake up always at ease.
If I built you a house, I would build it with grace. I would build it where kindness fills every space.
I would make all the windows and walls and the doors with the strength of your strength and the warmth that is yours. Where with every step that you ever take, would be etched in the floors, I would make no mistake.
I would pour my whole heart into all that I do. I would do this, I would. I would do this for you.
And no one could enter if their heart wasn’t pure, and all who would enter would only endure.
And gently I’d build it, I would do this, I would. I would do it for you any way that I could.
I would build it where love resides in the beams and where spirit and fortune bust at the seams.
And where all of the persons in your life that are true, would be safe in your home, in the heart that is you.
If I built you a house, do you know what I’d do?
I would die just to build it. I would do that for you.
