As a Child

 

When I was a child

I dreamt of a father

Who would always be there

For me, for us

To chase away bad dreams

To keep away evil men

 

As a teenager

I wished for a mother

Who was true

To her children, her family

That would wipe away tears

Absolve the pain in a life

 

As a young woman

Those wishes, those dreams

Turn to dust

And we laugh now

At the foolishness of childhood

 

Daddy s rarely there

Mommy will not be here

How foolish children

Can be in their always

Fading nativity
