The Child

i, too, was there when you cried, i was there when you stumbled, when you exploded with anger, when you wept with emotion. i was there for you when he didn't come home and suffered alongside with you for his well-being. i was there when you thought the world was a dark place and i smiled at you. And i didn't question your commands. i was there to show you how important you are, how grand, how beautiful. i was there to love you, to trust you, look up to you. i was there to kiss your violent hand. i, too, passed you cleenex to wipe your sadness away. i was there when you worried and I was there when you slouched. I was there everyday and reminded you how life goes on. i was there because i loved you. And i love you still.
