My daughter wrote a poem for me
With crayons, red and blue
I did not even read it
Forgot to say, “Thank you”
…
It tore her heart in pieces
But she didn’t complain at all
She swallowed her sorrow and didn’t
Let a tear fall
…
There, she lays in her bed
Smiling, but in pain
I don’t know if she’ll ever
Write a poem for me again
Oh..touched…!!

This is great, so emotional, and a story far too many of us have lived, either as the parent or the child.
Have a great weekend.

Touched a string in my heart. Many a times without realizing, without saying a word, we hurt our loved ones by our action.

Or for anyone else.. Might feel shy to ever again express herself.. And would take a real long time and lot of suffering for her to write smoother one for her dad..

I liked that! It happens too often that parents forget that the little things to them mean more than the world to their little ones

It’s so sad… Have you ever been that child? I mean it really happened to you when you were a child?
I felt sadness but it’s good for me or other readers to remember that it could be so easy to happen to us if we get too busy. And I hope all who experienced this are healed from within. Thank you for sharing this.

😦 I hope you didn’t do this because this totally tore at my heartstrings.
Write a poem for her. Read it to her. Then, listen to her poem. Embrace it, love it, let her know it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
And, if this didn’t happen, great way to evoke emotion from your readers.
