To Baby, in Atonement

Tonight your little cheek is wet
With glistening baby tears,
And baby heartbreaks hurt as much
As ours in later years...
But, oh! My sweet, tomorrow
When you waken with the dawn,
You'll find that sorrow's sped away
And baby woes are gone!
Yet I who watch above you
In that alchemy of sleep,
Know a deeper bit of heartache,
For...'twas I who made you weep!

wow..i stuggle with my lack of patience all the time..and sometimes find that my final nerve has been trampled and left me in a fit of frustrated ranting.."the ugly face scary monster"....it makes her cry..and it makes me cry too--and i feel sooo bad..i pray for patience everyday..

this hits home for me..not in an "abuse" way, but just that i feel i actually cause some of those tears, rather than knowing a way around them..maybe one day i'll figure out parenthood..

again....wow..
well written rex..

hugs, dg

i'm growin'
i dont like it
i'm growin' and it hurts
i love you
but i'm tired
i guess i've got a lot to learn

I've read this twice and it reminds me so much of when my kids were young. The joy when things go right and the Guilty feelings when things don't! All we can do is love them and try our best!

Thanks for the memories!
