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.
