Your Child's Eyes

Raised voices,
being thrown across the room.
Tears falling,
but none falling from you.
You disagreeing fools,
do you not understand who's being affected?
Genuine words spoken,
but none to the one who matters the most.

If the walls could speak,
they would say your never around.
Oh is this a mistake?
Your home for once,
as always spreading depression and frowns.

You tell me I don't understand.
Why don't you explain it to me?
My heart, ears, and arms are always open.
He told you that did he?
Isn't it about time you close your mouth and open your ears?
Swallow your pride and face your fears

You have children to support foolish one
Do we not mean much to you at all?
Money will not make us happy,
neither will material possessions.
Your love will bring this family joy.
Not your dirty secret obsessions.

We used to look up to your love,
now I pray to god I'll never end up like you.
Miserable,
Irresponsible,
Unstable,
A disgrace,
To both the family and to all women.

The kind of love you look for,
 is not the kind of love that will last a life time.
But the man at home,
shedding tears for you every night will.
If you took the time out of your busy life,
you would see a changed,
dedicated man with a heart big enough for two.

Go ahead look with your child's eyes,
and you'll see a loving family ready to forgive.


-----To Mom
Love , Your Child.
