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.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
