Title :Growing

He stood there in wonder at the child.

For he had not been around a little one in awhile.

So small, so fragile he seemed to be.

As his little hand reached out to me.

The undried tears I wiped away

In them held the tragedy of the day.

I picked him up and cuddled him in my arms

And promised to keep him from anymore harm

A year later I heard him cry out in his dreams.

Daddy, daddy do not leave me.

Estel I know you miss your father so.

NO it is you Ada please do not go.
