To My Child

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2006 with permission of the Author.

I know the world seems hard now,
But when you are older, you will see
That no matter what happens in life,
You will always have me.

I know that you are upset because daddy walked out of your life,
And you think that I caused it to be like this,
But if there is anything I can do to make you feel better,
I will, even if it's just a kiss.

Sometimes life will get us down,
And we all have to try to stay strong.
We have to be there for each other no matter what,
Even when it feels wrong.

And although your daddy isn't here with you,
I will do my best to heal all the pain and tears,
To hold you when you aren't feeling good,
To comfort you through all the fears.

One day you will realize
That when the world walks out on you,
No one will love you more
Than me and your family, too.

Now, I can't promise you the bluest skies
Or even that your dreams will come true,
But I will make your life happy and complete,
And I'll always be here for you.
