Teardrop

SLR

The child has a teardrop

in her eye.

She doesn't want to

say goodbye.

So, again she cries,

and it's sad,

because she thinks that

she was bad.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Most parents don't seem to realize that their children blame themselves for family problems. They feel it's somehow their fault. I've seen this time and again and it's heartbreaking. It's so hard to convince them it's not their fault and so hard to get parents to stop focusing on their own pain and really see what it's doing to the child. I've seen instances where this has led to the child attempting suicide. Please, really pay close attention to your children, (or any child you know) keep an eye out for signs of depression. If you feel like there might be a problem, please make it your business to say something. To do something.

          I am actually grateful for my conditions,for they made me who I am today,and such a strong woman.there is a shining SON in every dark moment we experience.🕊😁💞

          I'm far from grateful for all my issues but i will say they've made me stronger than what I probably would have been otherwise.
