A Child

I am a child with many dreams, When you look at me, you'll know what I mean; I am a child who needs care and understanding, I don't need any toys, just love and their parenting. I used to be with my friends all day long, No one stops me for they're busy and gone, My mom with her group of friends and my dad in his work, No one even tried to read me a book. I used to be with my toys, With my teddy, we share all these joys; The attention that I need are tears that I shed, That only my bear sees, not like my parents did. When I was sick, they're on my side, They don't feel how happy I am inside; They've showed their love for me unlike before, ''Oh! How am I.'' as I hugged them and cried with joy.
