DaDa (The Child)
"To forgive is divine...
I'm only human."
So I ask you now in the dark all alone
Did I ever rate a thought?
Or did you close your eyes and have a pleasant life
While another man taught
Me how to do the things I know now
Dry the tears I cried
Watch my bones break and grow
As the child within me died
So now you come back asking for pardon
Some twenty-five years gone
But as I look back over my shoulder for you
I see nothing so I move on...
So that's the way it's been no dada for me
But now I have a son
And as I tuck him in and kiss him goodnight
I know I'll be the one
To teach him all the things he knows now
Dry the tears he cries
Watch his bones become strong and grow
And keep the child within him alive...
"And so it ends..."

Ok Ug, looks like you're getting a following again. Now if you just keep writing occasionally and can tear yourself away from online games....

Were just finishing up doing the kitchen today. Were selling the house here too. I so hate packing. Hope things are going good with you. Time to put up a new poem.
