A Childs Voice

A Childs Voice A child needs so much from a parent If only their voices were heard more apparent Maybe it would go something like this Mommy & Daddy, there are things I truely miss Put down your cell phone or laptop for just a bit Equal time would be nice, request I submit Read me a book, maybe one or two Hugs and kisses I have so many for you Shouldn't I be more important than that tv you view Sunshine outside good for me and you I don't ask for much, just more of you time Love and smiles I will trade you in this rhyme Poem written by: Debra Falgout December 8th, 2012
