What Matters

I may not have riches    
Or a big fancy house    
I don't have a flashy car    
Or nice things you can live without    
I don't have gifts or talents    
Or wisdom I can share with anyone    
I'm way past my prime    
Not that I even ever had one    
I don't have much in this world    
Or anything I could even give    
But I have everything in this world    
Which are the reasons I live    
My wife is so amazing    
Supportive and always there for me    
She is a blessing    
And full of love unconditionally    
She always brings me up    
Whenever I am feeling down    
She is that uplifting smile    
That takes away my frown    
She is a a dynamic bundle    
Of love and happiness    
She balances my wrecking ball    
Of self inflicted chaos    
An amazing mother    
And a beautiful wife    
And one of the two best things    
I have in my life    
And my son is the other    
Cant believe he's a man already    
Almost 25 years in age    
He's focused and so steady    
I am so proud of him    
He's everything I never was    
He would do anything    
For anyone just because    
He's all I could dream him to be    
A perfect reflection of his mother    
With an endless future of possibilities    
He's unlike all others    
He works very hard    
But still follows his passion
He lives his life right    
Which gives me satisfaction    
A caring voice of reason    
With a mind of strength    
A heart of compassion    
He would go any length    
So I've hit the jackpot    
I'm the luckiest man alive    
All the other things I can go without    
Because I have what matters to thrive
