    Default Ode to My Child

    I got an email for Father's Day specials from On Your 6 Designs. In the email was this wonderful piece of writing:

    Ode To My Child

    I don't carry because its cool.
    I don't carry to Impress you.
    I don't carry to feel good about myself or to boost my mood.
    I don't carry to be unique or because I somehow think I'm weak.

    I carry for one reason and one reason alone.
    I was put on this planet to guard your life.
    To protect you from turmoil and strife.
    And although I pray the need will never arise, I will carry every day, and you are the reason why.
