Some children ask
If they are worthy of love
Only knowing the chasm felt
That the parents cannot dispose of
We are a complex people
Who fail to see the simple need
We perpetuate this problem
The one that we will often feed
Lonely is the night
Ambivalent child is awake
Numbing is the sensation
After the trembling heart shakes
Calming the soul
From the sound of a rotating fan
Brings peace to the child
Chasing away for a moment – the bogeyman
Dreams become nightmares
The sleeping child cannot fight
No one to turn to
In the dark or in the light
Child now adult
A life underway
Many lessons learned
Many in disarray
A leap of faith
He must convey
Despite diminishing returns
Of a brand new day
The recognition of good
Can be seen by all
The design of love
Heals all that fall
The greatest gift
That he can make
Love those around him
For everyone’s sake
