A CHILD'S GRIP

There is a child's fist,
Inside of me.
Clutching tight to what my dad said,
When I was three.
I remember that night,
My mom walked out the door.
To leave my dad for good,
And forevermore.
I was very sad,
That she was gone.
My dad turned to me,
And said "Son,
You're a big boy now,
And big boys don't cry.
So wipe that tear,
From your eye."
I carried that message,
Throughout my life.
Through all the pain.
Through all the strife.
Tears did not fall,
So easily.
Stuffing all the hurt,
Deep inside of me.
A child's fist,
Grips fiercely tight.
To a wrong,
That I must right.

| cry if you must, but don't hold a fist to your dad, he probably did the best he could, life is too short to hold bad memories remember each day is a blessing, treat it as such |

| I know you feel your father was being mean but he was probably just wanting you to get tough! Its a bad world out there & we want our children to be tough when they have to face things! Chin up! Its not easy being a parent! Christina |

I always used to say that having pride didn't make you a man, but when you share your tears with someone you love that in my eyes that makes you more of a man than if you were to hide how you felt. Thanks for sharing t his one i wish my dad had been around to tell me anything at all...
