I Must Forgive

He is young. I must forgive. He is too young to understand. He wants me always. He shouts if he fails. He shouts if he needs. He wants everything and nothing. He is young. I must forgive. He is too young to understand. He yells his own way. He hits till I'm blue. He hits till he's won. He yells every hour of every day. He is young. I must forgive. He is too young to understand. He breaks his things. He bullies his friends. He bullies his memories. He breaks my heart. He is young. I must forgive. He is too young to understand. He is 31. He is my husband. He is not too young.
