Poem
A little boy, about age eight who never did anything bad walked home alone from school each day to a drunk, abusive dad He tried to stay away from him and go about his way but his mind just kept on going back to how his momma left that day she was the one who would save him whenever things weren't going right and how he wished he could have stopped her from being killed that night because now he's got no momma to tuck him into bed each night all he has is a lot of trauma and a dad who only wants to fight his dad tells him he hates him and tells him to go away so he sarts to walk up to his room to forget about the day As he's going to his room He doesn't make a sound And without having a reason his dad pushed him to the ground He tries so hard to hold it in he tries not to cry the tears but he can't help but let it out when his dad's voice is all he hears so he quickly walked up to his room and he quietly closes the door with hopes that his unloving father he won't have to see anymore Then he runs to his bed puts his face in the pillow he feels so let down wished the pain inside would go when he thinks about his dad It brings tears to his eyes becasue he feels so bad Cause he believes all the lies So he gets down on the floor By the side of his bed And he closes his eyes And he quietly says God please help my daddy just please let him see that since he's started drinking that he's been hurting me I wan't him to love me I want him to care i just want to know that he will always be there so God if you hear me I hope that this might Just be one of the prayers That you answer tonight So he got up off his knees and crawled back into bed while his mind rested at ease that God heard what he said He awakes in the morning with his dad by his bed his dad looked him in the eyes and this is what he said Son i want you to know i love you and i want you to know i care and i want you to know if you need me that i will always be right there I don't know what i was thinking why to you i've been so untrue and i've decided to stop drinking to show you how much i love you
