Poem Title:
Poem
Until you know them, you have nothing to say. Until you wake them every morning, Put them to bed at night, Feed them before yourself, Are there for them when they are sick, Care for them when you are sick, you have nothing to say. Until you see them, you have nothing to say. Until you drive them to practice, Have their uniforms, equipment, scripts ready, In the rain, in the heat, Every practice, every game, every play, Every year, you have nothing to say. Until you help them, you have nothing to say. Until you harass them about homework, Day after day. Read reports, essays, thesis after thesis, Stay up studying, Encourage them before the big test, Hold them when the grade isn't the highest. Push them to be their best, For their future, you have nothing to say. Until you support them, you have nothing to say. Sit through all I.E.P.'s, Talk to teacher's, principals, behavior therapists, Hear the negative, and positive, Knowing they aren't a reflection of you, Hoping they will be the positive you instill in them. Feeling the teams eyes of scorn or pity on you. More paperwork, more behavior plans, more hope, Same results, you have nothing to say. Until you worry, you have nothing to say. When you stay up at night praying for scholarships for college, Praying for a good day at school. Wishing they saw the beauty in themselves you see, Tears when they aren't accepted by peers. Not knowing what comes after 22, Scared of them leaving the nest, Knowing he will never leave home. Wondering what will happen when I'm gone, you have nothing to say. Until you love them deeply, you have nothing to say. They are your everything! You will do anything for them! The good days and bad ones. Until they are your universe, you have nothing to say!
