A Boy's Need Poem by RACHEL ZARANTONELLO

Best friends we were,
Together, parents we became
My heart filled with love.
Yours filled with blame

Years gone by,
Memories we share
Why did you stay?
If you believe you didn't care?

Life isn't always easy.
Takes effort, love & prayer
It will be a lonely journey
If you can't give in & share

Being a parent is an adventure,
Not that your life is through
You see the little boy.
Do you see his need for you?

Life can be so confusing,
Not knowing what to do
You are just a boy, all grown up
But you know you need him too.
