Just A Child

He just stood there
his head glancing up and says daddy why?
What have I done?
to make you look sad and cry.
I know you love me
and want the best of everything for me
I am only ten
and don’t understand everything, you see.
I am just a child
your child and I know you love me dear.
Please take my hand
and wipe away your tear.
I am very sorry
I did not understand it was wrong.
You tell me many times
as if you’re singing a song.
Daddy, I am just a child
I don’t comprehend everything that you say.
Please slow down
maybe explain it to me in another way.
Our relationship is so precious
I am happy to have a dad like you.
There are times when I will be bad
and I will have to pay my due.
Daddy, it’s okay that you spanked me
my feelings are hurt, but I know now, I was wrong.
I really will try to understand
so you won’t have to sing me that unhappy song.
Son, I know you’re growing
and there is so much for you to learn.
We do have a good relationship
and the bridges we shall not burn.
Dear son, you know I love you
thanks for wiping away my tear.
Give me a big hug
very big like hugging a bear.
Son, every day I watch you grow
and one day you will turn into a man.
During this time
for you, I will do everything I can.
So son,
I may set here and cry.
I may have spanked you,
but I always tell you the reason why?
Let’s take a walk
and go have some fun
Wipe away the sadness
now that you understand what you have done.
Thank you daddy
I would love that, it means a lot to me.
While we are at it
I will tell you what I want to be.
Well daddy
It’s getting late and it’s time for bed
Please smile and be happy
I now understand everything you have said.

What a wonderful poem. While I was reading it, I could actually see the father and son having this talk and the pain and love both were feeling. Very nice work. Can't wait to read more of your poems.
