Spinning Top by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Spinning Top

You try to counter the spinning world
By running against its rotation

And smile when all you see are frowns
And all you feel is excitation

What is your clue
Your secret to never be told

To see you happy when we're cold
When we're sad and blue

And Navi, pride is what I'm filled with now
Because a son like you is truth
And makes a father bow
To such perfection

I envy you for all you give
And all the love you share in my direction

You are a spark, a miracle
A tick-tock that should never stop
Wrapped into a little spinning top
Into my son, my true extension
