A poem for Lucas

I stumbled upon this beautiful poem and just had to share it :

I Wanted You More

I wanted to be rich

But I wanted you more.

So every time I paid the doctor's bill

I lightly stroked the tiny bulge

That was my priceless treasure -You.

I wanted to live a life of passion

But I wanted you more.

And since you came to me

I've felt a love I've never known,

Flowing out of me

To you.

I wanted to see the world

But I wanted you more.

So I set aside my traveling

And discovered a world
Right outside my door,

Through your eyes.

I wanted to be carefree

But I wanted you more.

And now I spend my days

Looking at clouds and chasing butterflies

And losing myself

In your laughter.

I wanted so many things

And I got them all,

Because I wanted you.
