the tears of a child

the tears of a child

A Poem by dan
"

a child, a teddy bear and a dad; their story

"

the tears of a child

 

the first thing I do

when I check my child

is hold him to me

like a teddy bear,

held with so much love

that will not ring false;

my bear is well-worn

like a threadbare coat

(if coats could show love)

to fend off the cold

and give my love back.

 

though some days are dark,

they echo so loud, like

the tears of a Child;

the bear hears the sound,

and seeks out to find

the Child in such pain;

they snuggle and hug

till day lights their world.

those tears that show up "in the eyes of a child you must come out and see a new world spinning round" (Moody Blues from Our Children's Children's Children"

snuggles and hugs.

a tender piece here that provokes a tender peace.
