I don't really need to preface this poem, just know that one particular night I watched my 7 year old son try to deal with his feelings about my separation with his mom. I held him that night and we cried together, each time I read this I feel the tears coming. Above all else, I try to make sure he knows he is loved. I wrote this on that night. I love you son.<P><BR>sweet child of mine<P>So innocent and so young, <BR>can you know the things we’ve done?<BR>Don’t cry, don’t cry sweet child of mine.<P>No answers can I find to explain<BR>To the questions about your pain.<BR>Don’t cry, don’t cry sweet child of mine.<P>To small to know what to say,<BR>Wipe those tears and go and play.<BR>Hush now, don’t cry things will be fine.<P>Just take your father’s hand<BR>And don’t try to understand<BR>Don’t cry, don’t cry sweet child of mine.<P>Gentle soul your pain I feel <BR>Father time your heart will heal,<BR>Don’t cry, don’t cry sweet child of mine.<P>Go to bed and try and rest,<BR>Know that daddy will do his best.<BR>Hush now, don’t cry things will be fine.<P>Sleep my son tomorrow is a new day.<BR>Let Sandman come and take the tears away.<BR>Don’t cry, don’t cry sweet child of mine.<BR>

Ragston,<P>Your talent is quite admirable, the words inspirational, and hopefully your heart is finding a way to heal. I, too, have a 7 year old that has cried, expressed, and been held so tightly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us all.<P>~Jenn

ragston,<P>You are certianly very gifted. I'm not sure I should ask, but have you shared any of these poems with your wife? Perhaps you have good reasons not to, but it would be a shame for her not to see your gift of prose, and your struggles and joy at times. I am sure no one else she knows has such a way with words!<BR> Victoria
