Dear papa and mamma, I remember once asking "Where did I come from?" You waved me aside and laughed "Why, dear, you were picked up from the rubbish bin" Well, I guess that's why I am always cast aside with my Winnie the Pooh and Pokemon and Garfield and my millionzillion toys while you go out to work in your black suits and ties and briefcases. No time to play with me and my Pooh No time to listen to our delightful adventures Well, I guess I shouldn't complain For I am just worthless trash from the rubbish bin I don't deserve to be in the limelight of your lives And I think that's why I am just an afterthought left alone in the back seat of your minds |

hmmmmmmm. . . I'm wondering where this is coming from. . . if the child is grown, or if he is growing up alone. . .and wondering why his parents, who are trying to make his life better, aren't doing it in the way that he would like them to. . . well done here faterider. . . this is definitely a different type of "letter". . . --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Heng, this is so very sad, know that you are loved by many and your loving golden heart always deserves to share the limelight! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, we are always here if you need someone to talk to! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Heng, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Interesting letter! It is well done, and certainly made me think. I think sometimes kids do feel this way - and parents DO act this way. Some people equate careers and big paychecks with being fulfilled, when in reality, it's the raising of their children that will fulfill them. I hope this isn't autobiographical, if it is, then I hope you can get past these feelings some day. (I am putting this into my library).  |

I didn't realise until after I finished reading the poem.  The Chris in the title, is the Christopher in the cartoons. Very well done! Hope there'll be less children like Chris..._,,,^.^,,,_ |
