Maturity

I came naked, before you an offering in hand you gazed at the stars smiled and in embarassed silence stood seeing me as a child idly bearing chidish gifts You thought to play at pleasure to humor and to please unseen, through incurious eyes a womans anger seethed I came naked, before you you stood, fully clothed you, a careful thoughtful man myself a reckless fool I damned you, all through hell because you told a simple truth as I in retrospect, have found a foolish, foolish, youth I stand now as you stood then, take comfort from my pride and smile with patient tolerance at your little boy side
