Christopher's Poem

I’ve tried to help you, and treat you fair; But in your mind, you think I don’t care. I know I haven’t done everything right; But trust me, I continue to put up a fight. Your happiness is all I ever hoped for; I know you never meant to make my trust sore. You do what you know how to survive; Life for you has been about staying alive. The hardships you’ve had to always endure; You never knew what was in store. You’ve done so well, and I know you’re tired; Your bitter and angry and wish to retire. But try once more, I’ll be by your side; I promise I’ll never wash out with the tide. We have a long journey, me and you; I’m committed, I promise, I’m part of the crew.
