Watching You

Watching You

I watched you come into t his world

I watched you learn to walk.

I vividly remember learning to understand you

when you began to talk.

I watched you as you learn to write,

I watched you learn to climb.

I tenderly listened to your gentle voice

reciting your nursery rhyme.

I watched you play among each other

Sometimes I’d watch you fight.

I watched and learnt that you’re not perfect,

But you generally did what was right.

I watched you hurt inside yourselves

And mainly because of me.

Before I watch life pass me by

I want you to know I’m sorry.

I pray one day you’ll understand

This poem makes me feel blue.

Because now I watch myself grow old

Instead of watching you.
