Cherished Child
My own experience and what I have observed through the years
A child is cherished when they feel wanted and accepted
I will list the reason why they are the way they are
Because of the realization of what life is all about and it’s emotional for me
1. The day that you first breathe the world air, you are given life
2. The first thing they see is the Mom, or Dad with smiles
3. The stage of having trust comes from Mom and Dad
4. The first facial expressions you see is your Mom, Dad, and family members
5. The first affectionate embrace Mom and Dad
6. The first of every moment in the child life is Mom and Dad observing
7. The stage of honesty and humility
8. The humbleness and humor
9. The teachings of right and wrong
10. The child sees love, sorrow, pain, tears, laughter
11. The child learns to stand on two feet, and their belief
12. Learns how to protect and how wonderful family is
These observations is part of my life, and experience
With no disregards every moment of that child is cherish able
Everything they see from Mom or Dad to them is factual
They dream of peace and love, laughing, running with Mom and Dad
Have you ever seen a smile that can make you cry?
Look at a child that is content and observant, the child is very happy
Learning what is around them and they think everything is a gift
They reach out, they stare, they slobber, they giggle, and for what
They are so content and well taken care of and balanced
Now they get about five years of age, they become more charismatic
They believe everything, do you know why? It because they feel safe
Five year old already had Mom and Dad, lectures of little lessons
The lesson grow into bigger when get older, I observed this a lot
I am humbled by it, and it was not my parents who taught me
I was taught by nature, and what I saw, it was fearful and nightmarish
Believe me I know when a child is content, and pleased
I know that I was brought up with all I needed, but I always questioned
What is and what was, I do believe my adopted parents love me
But I know that I had questions and doubt, why? Being adopted is different
That is why I am sad or confused, and always having trouble distinguishing
How to trust, How to make friends, and how the heck did I get this way
I always wondered if my mother had me biologically, what would have changed
Nothing…because I was a cherished child in my home town and my parents
And I believe I was cherished because I am still here today!
