Watching
Always I have watched you
When you were born I was there
A happy father proud of his new born children
Young, beautiful and full of such limitless promise
I loved you so much then... I still do
I laughed in joy as you took your first faltering steps
My pride and love growing
I watched with great concern each time you fell and broke your young bones
But each time I was there to dry your tears and help you to your feet once again
Change brings great pain but also equal growth and strength
I watched in growing awe as you began to master your environment
I would have preferred for you to master yourself first
But children often grow in unexpected ways
So I waited patiently always there to help if asked
As time passed my concern grew
The outside world was the easier aspect of reality to master
When would you start to master your inner selves
The lack of attention to the other halves of yourselves is poisoning you
Why do you fear it so
Why do you so rarely ask for help
Why do you not accept help when it is given
This cannot go on for the poison from your hearts is now spilling into the outer world
I cannot fix your problems only you can
But always I will love you
Always I will help you
Always I will watch you
