He Seemed to Say

Silly, silly boy.

You'll be real soon enough.

But until then...stop giving your strings to others to control.

Promises, promises

I made her break a promise
I did it just today

I made her break a promise
Much to my dismay

I couldn’t help but watch her
As I tried to catch the raindrops in my hands

“I promise daddy”

My heart first leaped
Then sank.
For I knew what I asked was impossible.
It’s the sin that every parent
Of every child
Commits.

So my love
When you learn of this
Go easy on me
I too, am only human

This was the promise of her I asked:

Just please my love


Don’t

Grow up

Too fast

Pleas and Blank 'You's

Please sir
Please help her
You’re the only one
Who can help

I’ve come so far
To seek your guidance
As you know
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
She is so very strong
Yet so very fragile

She has her thoughts, her wisdom, her brains
Yet is weighed down by her self made chains.

She has her courage, her bravery and wit
Yet is tumbling down a most bottomless pit

She has her big heart, her essence and soul
Yet her eyes have trouble seeing the goal

So you see sir
She needs you now
Perhaps more now
Than ever

So I’ll make you a deal
I won’t tell, what I saw behind the curtain
If you’ll just help herFind her way home.
