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.
