am cheating here using two that i did yrs ago when i was a sole parent of my two sons


"Waiting"
I sit here in the doctor's waiting room
My feelings and fears continue to bloom
I hope soon they find out what's wrong inside him
At every dead end my hopes become dim
It scares me to think I can do nothing for my child
But to hold him and hug him and merely smile
I want him to be well so he can enjoy a normal day
Then he comes to me and says
Dad I had another seizure, please help me
Sometimes it hurts so much I just want to be free
Free from the pain and all the sorrow
Sometimes just wishing I don't have to deal with tomorrow
My child means so much to me so much to my heart
It is not fair that a young child has to have such a horrible start
To have to go through life feeling these pains
So he smiles says I'm OK and knows not his father is slowly going insane



" The silence of the children"
I love my children so true
You ask how many, well there are two
Both of them rowdy boys I love so dear
Already I wonder where are the years
~~~~~~~~
It scares me to think of them grown
Me with no one to care for at home sad and alone
I know I need not worry about what they will do
For I have taught them always be honorable and true
~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing with all the bad things they have done
I hold no remorse, regrets, absolutely none.
They will grow to be men of truth and grace
Knowing they are men is what puts a smile on my face
~~~~~~~~~~
So remember if you have children too,
Spend time with them now, or someday you will be blue
Wondering what you did and why you are alone
Only to hear the silence of children, because now they are gone(c)
