The love for your Children is worth sacrificing for;
Once what as important to you, is no longer important anymore;
Once you witness their birth, forever changes your life;
It changes the way you look at things, even your wife;
To have a baby so small, totally dependant on you;
You feel totally unprepared, even putting on their shoe;
You give up the life, of being totally care free;
You start to redefine your life, and loose a big portion of me;
Your life gets totally consumed with giving them care;
You spend part of the time pulling out your hair;
You spend the first year guessing, because they can not talk;
You spend the second year chasing them, once they learn to walk;
Making decision about their life, deciding it all;
Trying to get through to them, banging your head against the wall;
In a blink of an eye, they are grown and out of the nest;
You always wonder in the back of your mind, did I do my best;
Looking at them now that they are almost grown;
You learn the sacrifice was worth it, and now your life is your own.

This is my life, X 5, from 30 to 4 years of age. They are inspiring.

Well done.
