Teenager

Daniel is 14, outside it's frosty and freezing cold,

He won't wear a coat, he says he is fine and he feels quite warm,

I guess when I sit back and think when I was his age, I thought the same, I guess I am just getting old,

We just need to leave him alone, to wear what he wants, all black and cold,

Then all we can do is have somewhere warm for him to come too,

And to make sure he knows that we love him,

We really DO.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
