Silent Lullabies

Did silent lullabies make you fall asleep peacefully while some child of your blood squealed in his cradle: He was left alone. He wished you had stayed longer and yearned for a better life. You gave him promises, You gave him hopes, But none of those came true Until he realized it was a hoax. Did you think he misjudged the situation, concluding you were not a good example? Contrary to your proud wife’s opinions, You are the delight: A source of joy. So tell the boy he is wrong. You might love how things went downhill for him when you left. He thought that you enjoyed it. He had a lot of questions to ask, But no one from his clan wanted to answer his confusions: “Why is life getting more eccentric as time passes?” “Why did you leave him so soon?” Do you know that his pain gradually worsens each year? It drives him to the depths of delusion. Still, he hoped to celebrate this day, But he could not find a reason to say, “Happy Father’s Day.” All he thinks about is… You are not a good father. Never were, Never will be tomorrow, Not even in his midnight musings.
